tubes, use a torque of 7 Nm.

clamp:
a. Press the rear button on the anti-tip
tube on the anti-tip tube adapter, so
that both release pins are drawn
inwards
.b. Slot the anti-tip tubes (1) into the
anti-tip tube adapter.
c. Turn the anti-tip tubes downwards until the release pin locks into
the clamp.
d. Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
2. Adjusting the anti-tip tubes
To achieve the correct ground clearance of approx. 1" to 2" (2.5 cm
to 5.0 cm), the anti-tip tubes must be raised or lowered.
Press the anti-tip tube release button, so that both release pins are
drawn inwards. Move the inner tube up or down to slot into the
height holes provided. Release the button. Fit the second anti-tip
wheel in the same way. Both wheels should be at the same height.

If the anti-tip tubes are not fitted, or have been fitted incorrectly,
there is a risk of tipping over and of injury.

Options – Crutch holder
Crutch holder
This device permits crutches to be transported directly on the
wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids
while moving.
Before using your wheelchair ensure
the lap belt is worn.
The lap belt must be checked on a daily
basis to ensure it is free from any
obstruction or adverse wear.
Always make sure that the lap belt
is correctly secured and adjusted-
prior to use. Too loose a strap could
cause the user to slip down and risk
suffocation or cause serious injury.
The lap belt is fitted to the wheelchair as
shown in the illustrations. The seat belt
comprises 2 halves. They are fitted using the
existing seat stay retaining bolt fitted through
the eyelet on the belt. The belt is routed
under the rear of the side panel. (Fig. 24)
Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the
centre of the seat. (Fig. 25)
Adjust lap belt to suit the user’s needs as follows:

length
To increase the belt length
Feed free belt back
through male buckle
and slide adjusters.
Ensure belt is not
looped at male
buckle.

male buckle to provide more belt length.
When fastened check space
between the lap belt and user.
When correctly adjusted it should
not be possible to insert more than
the flat of the hand between the
lap belt and the user. (Fig. 26)

to slip down in the seat.
