3.3 Safety Instructions for Assembly

WARNING

Changed diameter/installation position of the wheels

Tipping, falling over of the user due to blocked wheels

Modification of the size and position of the front wheels and of the drive wheel size can lead to wobbling of the
front wheels at higher speeds. If changes are required, verify the horizontal alignment of the wheelchair frame
(see the section "Adjusting the drive wheels", "Adjusting the caster wheels"). 

WARNING

Incorrect installation of the anti-tipper/missing anti-tipper

Tipping  over,  falling  of  the  user  due  to  failure  to  observe  the  installation  instructions  and  because  of  incorrect
adjustment

Depending upon the settings of the chassis, the centre of gravity, the back angle and the experience of the
user, the use of an anti-tipper may be necessary.

For a small wheelbase and a backrest that is tilted far back, an anti-tipper may need to be installed on both
sides, depending upon the user's experience. 

Verify  that  the  anti-tipper  has  been  installed  and  adjusted  properly.  Find  the  appropriate  position  with  the
assistance of a helper.
