Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair
increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels
are preset at a factory setting for smooth surfaces or indoor
use only. If you plan on using your power chair on rough
surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels
to better suit your needs. See the following setting adjust-
ments:
n
For increased stability (and less climbing ability) move
the anti-tip strut and spring to the rear hole.
n
For increased climbing ability (and less stability) move
the anti-tip strut and spring to the front hole.
WARNING! Consult your authorized
Pride Provider before attempting to
change the anti-tip wheel height!
Changing the anti-tip wheel height
affects handling under acceleration!

WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more you increase your power chairs
tendency to tilt forward while decelerating. You can compensate for this by having your authorized
Pride Provider make a small adjustment to the pre-programmed deceleration setting in the controller
or by moving the seat assembly farther to the back of your power chair.
PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels.
NOTE: Each drive tire must be inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar) (if equipped with pneumatic tires) and the user must
also be seated in the power chair in order to properly adjust the anti-tip wheels.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1. Remove bolt A. See figure 18.
2. Reposition the strut/spring to one of the three positions.
3. Reinstall bolt A.
4. Tighten bolt A.
5. Raise or lower the other anti-tip wheel so that it is at the same height.
