14 - Rear Anti-tippers
Photograph 14
The anti-tippers help prevent you from tipping over when the rear
wheels are incorrectly positioned, or when
the user or attendant mishandles the
wheelchair.
- Use: The anti-tippers fit into the rear tubes
of the side frames (A). Fit the anti-tippers
into the side frame rear tube, until the
button springs are positioned in the holes of
the rear tube (A). Carry out these
operations in the reverse order to remove.
You can leave the anti-tip castors on the
wheelchair even if you do not wish to use them. Just depress the
button spring and rotate the entire anti-tipper unit a half turn
(180
°
). DO NOT twist or turn the Anti-Tipper when withdrawing it
from the frame.
NB:
The anti-tippers are not to be used as tipping levers.

Photographs 15 and 16
The transit kit includes a manual brake for operation
by an attendant.
NB:
This brake is different to the self propelled
version.
Also included is a choice of either pneumatic or solid
tyred wheels.
- Adjustment: It may be necessary to adjust the
brakes after repairing a puncture or because of
wear on the pneumatic or solid tyre. Slacken
clamp screws (B) and adjust the brake
assembly to achieve adequate braking.
Tighten the clamp screws (B) firmly after
adjustment.
