ANTI-TIP TUBES 

Anti-tip tubes provide additional safety for inexperienced users 

when they are still learning how to operate their wheelchair. They 

prevent a wheelchair from tipping over backwards. The anti tip

tube 

should be inserted into the frame tube until the first of the two 

spring buttons enters the first hole in the frame tube, (Fig.40).

WARNING!

Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a rearwards 

tip. You must swing the anti-tips upwards when going up or down 

large obstacles, (such as a kerb), to prevent them from touching the 

ground, then rotate them back down to the normal position.

CAUTION!

Do not insert both buttons of 

the anti tip tube into the frame 

tube as this could damage the 

anti Tip and cause a loss of 

effectiveness. 

By pushing on the Second 

exposed

release button, the 

safety wheels can be set 

upwards or removed. There 

must always be a gap of 

between 3 cm and 5 cm 

between the tube and the 

ground. You must swing the 

safety wheels upwards when going up and down large obstacles 

(such as a kerb) to prevent them from touching the ground. Then 

rotate the safety wheels back down to the normal position (Fig. 43).

WARNING!

Incorrect set up of the anti tips will increase the risk of a rearwards 

tip.

is routed under the rear of the side panel. (Fig. 44)

Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the centre of the seat,
