2.8 Angle adjustable back and seat tilt
ATTENTION
(1) With an angle adjustable back or seat tilt the
anti-tipper is to be activated starting from a setting
of 90°.
ATTENTION
For active use the back or seat tilt must be in an
upright (90°) position.
Make sure that when adjusting the back angle or
when tilting that the head has enough support from
for example a heat rest.
ATTENTION
NEVER activate the seat tilt or the angle adjustment
while driving.
�
INDICATION
(2) In the case of amputations or leg elevation and
simultaneously “leaning back”, we recommend
for improvement of the tilt stability a wheel base
elongation, at least the use of an anti-kipper.
ATTENTION
A wheel base extension is strictly NOT a replacement
for an anti-tipper!
2.9 Casters
ATTENTION
Casters which are not correctly adjusted or driving
too fast, especially downhill, can cause the casters
to dangerously flap back and forth.
�
INDICATION
Clean the axes and the axle holder regularly,
removing lint and dirt.
INFORMATION
After every change on the rear wheels the casters
must be newly adjusted. Let this be done by an
experienced rehab technician.
�
INDICATION
(3) When transferring in and out of the wheelchair
turn the casters forward for greater stability by
slightly moving the wheelchair backwards.
