ANTI-TIP TUBES
Anti-tip tubes provide additional
safety for inexperienced users when
they are still learning how to operate
their wheelchair. They prevent a
wheelchair from tipping over
backwards. The anti tip
tube should
be inserted into the frame tube until
the first of the two spring buttons
enters the first hole in the frame tube,
(Fig.30).
WARNING!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip. You must swing the anti-tips upwards when going up or down
large obstacles, (such as a kerb), to prevent them from touching the
ground, then rotate them back down to the normal position.

NOTE:
Do not insert both buttons of the anti tip tube into the frame
tube as this could damage the anti Tipp and cause a loss of
effectiveness. By pushing on the Second exposed
release button,
the safety wheels can be set upwards or removed. There must
always be a gap of between 3 cm and 5 cm between the tube and
the ground. You must swing the safety wheels upwards when going
up and down large obstacles (such as a kerb) to prevent them from
touching the ground. Then rotate the safety wheels back down to the
normal position (Fig. 30).
WARNING!
Incorrect set up of the anti tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip.
