• Anti-tippers should be between 1 ½ and 2 ¾ inches (4 to 7 cm) off
the ground.
• Improper spacing may result in wheelchair hang ups over
obstacles or not preventing the wheelchair from tipping.
• Press the push-button (1) and slide anti-tippers extensions to
desired length.
• Ensure the button snaps back into place.
INFORMATION
If you are unable to adjust the anti-tippers to the proper
height, contact your Motion Composites dealer to
replace your anti-tipper with another size.

CANE AND CRUTCH HOLDER
WARNING
The cane and crutch holder should never be used as a tip-
ping lever. Doing so could result in damage to the wheelchair
and/or injury to the caregiver or user.
The cane and crutch holder is an optional feature on the Motion
Composites rigid wheelchair. The cane and crutch holder allows
you to store your cane while in the wheelchair. It can be installed
on the right or left side (different assemblies) and can be easily
moved along the rear wheel camber tube to the ideal position for
your needs. It is compatible with Motion Composites anti-tippers on
both sides.
Installing the cane and crutch holder basket:
• Insert the bent tube (1) of the cane and crutch holder into the
opening of the ring and position the ring on the rear camber
tube.
• Insert the screws (2) and lock washers into the ring and tighten
slightly.
• Adjust bushing position on the camber tube to the desired posi-
tion.
• Turn the bushing on the camber tube to adjust the height of
the cane holder from the ground. It should be higher than the
anti-tippers, if any, and the bottom of the cane holder basket
should be parallel to the ground when adjustments are com-
plete.
• Apply the recommended torque (12 Nm) to both screws (2).
