6.15 Adjusting the Anti-Tipper
CAUTION
Incorrect installation of the anti-tipper/missing anti-tipper
Risk of the user tipping to the rear
►
Depending upon the settings of the chassis, the centre of gravity, the back angle and the experience of the
user, the use of an anti-tipper may be necessary.
►
For a small wheelbase and a backrest that is tilted far back, an anti-tipper may need to be installed on both
sides, depending upon the user's experience.
►
Verify that the anti-tipper has been installed and adjusted properly. Find the appropriate position with the
assistance of a helper.
CAUTION
Incorrect anti-tipper setting
Risk of tipping over, falling, loss of functionality
►
After it is adjusted, the anti-tipper always has to protrude a few centimetres beyond the outer radius of the rear
wheel.
►
Length and height adjustments must always be done the same way on both sides.
►
After making adjustments, take note of the sound made by the tripod spring as it engages.
►
After making any adjustments to the product, verify the proper functionality of the anti-tipper. Adjust the anti-
tipper if needed.
If the anti-tipper settings need to be adjusted (e. g. when changing the seat height, wheel size or position of the
wheel adapter), the anti-tipper can be adjusted in both length and height.
a) Adjusting the length
The length adjustment of the anti-tipper must not be realised via the ratchet mechanism, but only by changing the
position of the cross tube:
1) Press in the tripod spring and remove the anti-tipper from the cross tube (see fig. 43, item 1).
2) Loosen/remove the Allen head screws on the cross tube (see fig. 43, item 2).
3) Adjust the depth of the cross tube. Use the existing bores in the cross tube for this purpose.
4) Tighten the Allen head screw on the cross tube to a torque of
8 Nm
.
5) Push in the tripod spring and slide the anti-tipper into the cross tube.
INFORMATION: After making this adjustment, the anti-tipper has to protrude a few centimetres bey
ond the outer radius of the rear wheel. The anti-tipper must be fully inserted into the cross tube.
6) Visually check that the anti-tipper has engaged.
