Wheels can be moved to facilitate
changes to meet user need.
When setting wheel mounting
positions always ensure that both
wheels are positioned in
corresponding holes on each side
of the frame.
Rear wheels can be set back to
achieve greater stability, but
require more effort to propel and
manoeuvre the wheelchair.
THE WHEELCHAIR IS SUPPLIED WITH WHEELS SET AS SPECIFIED
DO NOT ADJUST PRIOR TO SPECIALIST ASSESSMENT.
Your wheelchair may be supplied with Anti-tip
stabilisers which are secured to the lower frame
tube by a self locking nut and bolt.
They also have a series of holes to allow for
adjustment when rear wheel is repositioned.
Anti-tip
Stabilisers allow
the occupant to
practice back
wheel balancing
and skilled
manoeuvres.
Access Build Specification 6 & 11 Stability Conditions
Wheelchairs configured in the rear wheel set back position for high double
amputees, have a maximum stability of 4 degrees. Therefore where slopes of
any nature are to be negotiated, we advise an attendant is in control of the
wheelchair at all times. This type of wheelchair configuration is suitable for
unattended indoor use only when being used by high double amputee.
When the wheelchair is being used by below the knee amputees or by a
single leg amputee the chair is suitable for unattended indoor / outdoor use
with a maximum stability of 8 degrees.
NB : Anti Tippers shown are compatible with chairs manufactured
prior to 1
