3.8 Antitipper
An antitipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
Antitippers that are incorrectly set or no longer
working can lead to overturning.
– Always check that the antitipper is working
before using the wheelchair and have it set or
readjusted by a specialist dealer when required.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
On uneven or soft ground, the antitipper can sink
into potholes or directly into the ground, thereby
curtailing or eliminating its safety function.
– Only use the antitipper when travelling on even
and firm ground.
Activating the antitipper
1.
Push the antitipper completely down (spring loaded) and
swivel it through 180° until it engages in the rear position.
