Options – Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-tip tubes provide additional safety
for inexperienced users when they are
still learning how to operate their
wheelchair. They prevent a wheelchair
from tipping over backwards.
By pushing on the release button (1), the
safety wheels can be set upwards or removed. There must always
be a gap of between 3 cm and 5 cm between the tube and the
ground.
You must swing the safety wheels upwards when going up and
down large obstacles (such as a kerb) to prevent them from
touching the ground. Then rotate the safety wheels back down to the
normal position (Fig. 34).
