V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
BB. Anti-Tips (Optional)
Anti-tip tubes help prevent your wheelchair from tipping over backwards. When adjusted properly
they provide a significant increase in rearward stability. Your stability can be affected by traversing
uneven ground, a ramp, slope or other surface that changes your relationship to gravity. Your
stability can also be affected by other forces acting on you and your wheelchair, such as someone
pushing down or leaning on your push handles or other parts of your chair. This can happen to
even the most experienced wheelchair user. People in your environment do not necessarily
understand they are impacting your stability.
WARNING: Ki Mobility strongly recommends the use of Anti-Tip tubes! Anti-tips must be
used at all times. Whether traversing uneven ground or sitting in a crowded room, the
unexpected may occur and your weight can dramatically shift causing a fall which could cause
serious injury or death.
1. Installing Anti-Tips (Fig. 44)
•
Compress the 2nd detent button on the anti-tip tube so the
front detent button is drawn inside.
•
Insert the anti-tip tube into receiver mounted on the side
frame.
•
Rotate the anti-tip tube downward until the small wheels are
adjacent to the floor. The detent button should now be
aligned with a hole on the receiver. Release the detent
button and it will engage with the receiver.
•
Insert second anti-tip tube the same way.
2. Adjusting Position of Anti-Tip Receiver (Fig. 45)
You should only need to adjust your Anti-Tip Receiver if you change your chair. If you make
changes that require you to adjust the position of your receiver, follow these steps:
•
Remove bolts that connect the anti-tip tube receiver to the
side frame of your chair.
•
The holes are in 1" increments so you can move it farther up
on the frame or lower on the frame. Place the bracket at the
desired height.
•
Reinsert bolts and tighten. (If the bolts also connected the
armrest and the axle plate you may need to contact your
supplier for additional hardware)
•
Repeat with second anti-tip tube receiver. Both brackets
should be at exactly the same height.
•
Replace anti-tip tubes as instructed above.
DANGER: Failure to read and heed these instructions may result in damage to your wheelchair,
a fall or loss of control causing severe injury to the user or others.
