Anti-Tip Tubes

Anti-Tip Tubes (Fig. 5.40)

safety for inexperienced users
when they are still learning how to
operate their wheelchairs. Anti-tip
tubes (1) prevent a wheelchair from
tipping over backwards. Pushing
the anti-tip tubes (1) will move
them downwards; they can also
be swung forward. An interval of 3
cm to 5 cm should be maintained
between them and the ground. You must swing the anti-tip
tubes forward when going up and down large ob stacles (such
as a curb) to prevent them from touching the ground.

Standard Sling

Standard Sling (Fig.5.41)

plugs (2) forward out of the frame.
The sling (3) can then be slid off
of the frame. By unfastening the
Velcro, the sling can be readjusted.
Reverse this pro cedure to reinstall the sling. When finished,
make sure that all screws have been properly tightened (see
the page on torque).
WARNING!
For proper safety, at least 50 % of the Velcro surfaces must
make contact with each other at all times.
