Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair increased
stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the
factory to a height of 1.3 cm off the ground. This setting is for smooth
surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using your power chair on
rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to
better suit your needs. The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if
either of the following occur:
n
When coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward
excessively.
n
The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1. Remove the anti-tip wheel. See figure 15.
2. Remove the nut and bolt on the anti-tip bracket. See figure 12.
3. Raise or lower the anti-tip wheel.
4. Reinstall the nut and bolt on the anti-tip bracket.
5. Reinstall the wheel.
6. Raise or lower the other anti-tip bracket so that it is at the same
height.
NOTE: Each drive tyre must have at least
30 - 35 psi
in order for the
anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
NOTE: The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more tendency
your power chair has to tilt forward when coming to a stop. You can
compensate for this by making a small adjustment to the pre-
programmed deceleration setting in the controller or by moving the
seat assembly further to the rear of your power chair.
