The amputee kit makes it possible for the manually
propelled wheelchair to be operated by people whose
centre of gravity is further back while allowing the
wheelchair to be used with less restrictions than with
anti-tippers. The kit should be fitted and adjusted by
a qualified technician.

15. Rear Anti-tippers

Photograph 22
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 casters 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 deg.)

- 

Note:

The anti-tippers are not to be used as tipping levers.

16. Transit kit

Photos 23 and 24

The transit kit includes a manual brake for operation by an
attendant.

Note:

- 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.

The pressure of the pneumatic tyres should be checked
before use of the wheelchair. The pressure is shown on
the tyre and must never be exceeded.

In case of a

puncture, the tyre may have to be removed from the rim. Press the valve to
let all the remaining air out of the inner tube. Remove the tyre off the rim.
Repair or replace the inner tube. Put the tyre back on the rim. Inflate the tyre
to the required pressure.
