ANTI-TIPPING
(B78)
For your safety your electric wheelchair is equipped with an anti-tipping device. Do not remove this
device (exception: see the chapter on transporting the wheelchair), otherwise your wheelchair is not
safeguarded against involuntary tipping.
Î
Before driving off, make sure the anti-tipping device is inserted on both sides and securely
fastened.
Î
Before every journey you should be sure the anti-tipping device is mounted correctly. The
rollers of the device should make contact with the ground when involuntary tipping occurs,
thus preventing the chair from tipping over backward
z
BODY
SUPPORTS
(L04)
If the upper part of your body requires stronger support than
provided by the standard backrest, we offer a support system
which can be mounted on the back. To install the body support
you only have to let it slide into the bushing (1), welded on the
back frame of the wheelchair. Make sure the bolt (2) is in the
right direction to allow a good fixation.
To adjust the depth of the side support, you can loosen the bolt
(3) and set the side supports to the desired depth.
To adjust the width, you can loosen the 2 bolts (4) and modify
the angles defined by the tooth adjustments.
L
Make sure all screws are properly tightened after assembly, otherwise the stability of the
supports is endangered; this may cause injury and/or damage.
L
Make sure the rail system is properly mounted and nothing obstructs its functional integrity.
L
If your wheelchair is delivered unassembled, let your specialist dealer assemble it; he has
suitable tools and the required knowledge.
L
Improper assembly voids any warranty claim.
L
When the supports are fitted, you should sit quietly and naturally in your wheelchair to ensure
correct adjustment.
L
Make sure no objects and/or body parts are located between the supports and the back of the
supports when these are pulled tight, otherwise bruising and/or damage might occur.
If you have further questions about the indications and function of the supports, kindly contact
your specialist dealer. He would gladly answer your questions.
