Height-Adjustable Push Handles (Fig.6.36)
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them from
sliding out unintentionally. Opening the quickrelease
lever makes it possible to adjust the height of the push handles
to meet your individual needs. As you move the lever, you will
hear a locking mechanism; you may now easily position the
push handle as desired. The nut on the tension lever
determines how tightly the push handles are clamped into place.
If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the push
handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from side to
side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely enough
into place. After adjusting the handle height, always clamp the
tension lever securely into place. If the lever is not secure,
injuries could result when ascending stairs.

flip them back up until they click into place.

Anti-tip tubes
Anti-Tip Tubes (Fig.6.38)
The anti-tip tubes (1) provide additional safety for inexperienced
users when they are still learning how to operate their
wheelchairs. Anti-tip tubes (1) prevent a wheelchair from tipping
over backwards. The anti-tip tube (1) can be swung downwards
by pushing it or rotated forwards. There should be a gap of 3 to 5
cm to the floor. To go up or down a step (e.g. kerb) the anti-tip
tubes must be swung forwards, to prevent them from touching
the ground.
WARNING!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a
rearwards tip.
