7.6 Supporting wheel (overturning protection)
The purpose of the supporting wheel is to avoid turning over
backwards. As depicted in the illustration, the wheel should
be adjusted with a distance of 2-5 cm towards the floor.
For getting over a threshold, the supporting wheel must be
swung in by the assistant and afterwards be swung out
again; otherwise the wheelchair may not be wheeled
properly.
The swing jib of the supporting wheel is pivoted in the fixed
fitment. In order to swing out the supporting wheel, push it down with your foot or hand
and turn it by 180°. Then release it, so it may be engaged into the position slot.
If you push down the jib in the fitment, it will come out of its position and may be swung
back. Make sure that the jib is snapped in its end position because a loose wheel may
result in an ankle injury of the assistant.
For very active users or people with false tonus stability, we recommend a second
supporting wheel so the wheelchair cannot turn over sidewards. Your orthopaedic
mechanic engineer will be pleased to equip your Tilty with the wheel. Even as a
retrofitting!
Advice for your orthopaedic mechanic engineer:
For adjusting the supporting wheel higher, loosen
screw A and pull out the jib from the spring and
the fitment. Re-set screw B in the jib by the
needed punch hole distance. Then assemble
spring and jib into the fitment and re-tighten all
screws properly.
