Anti tip devices
Page 14
The Anti Tip device is fitted to the
rear of the vehicle. Its function is
to restrict the vehicle tipping
backwards in an extreme
situation. This only occurs if the
machine is misused.
See pages 31 & 32- “Driving the
Vehicle”
The Quingo is fitted with 2 types
of anti tip devices. Type “A” is the
standard unit on older models
and type “B” is the “Powered Anti
Tip” This works in a completely
different way.
TYPE A
If the rider should tip backwards
the castor wheels will restrict the
angle of the vehicle.
TYPE B
Type B has a patented feature
that engages the 2 wheels when
descending a slope or kerb.
Should the anti tip wheels come
to rest on a kerb there is a
possibility that the machine will
become “stuck”. This means the
kerb is higher than the distance
between the anti tip wheels and
the ground. This can leave the
rear wheels spinning and the
scooter can become disabled. If
this should happen the 2 wheels
engage. The rider should just
drive normally and the vehicle will
drive off the obstacle.
It is all done automatically.
