Antitippers
:
o
These aren’t shown in the picture.
o
They are small wheels on the back of your wheelchair near the bottom to
keep it from tipping over backward.
o
Keep the antitippers on most of the time. They can get in the way
sometimes when going backwards down a steep slope, so make sure you
know how to remove them.
Footrests
:
o
The footrests can be knocked out of place easily.
o
To fix them, use a wrench to loosen the bolt on the side of the bar going to
the footrest.
o
Your footrests should fit comfortably when you are sitting on a cushion.
o
There should be about 2 inches of room between the ground and the
footrest.
Make sure you know how to put on and take off the foot rests, armrests and
antitppers, and how to fold the wheelchair.
