V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
T. 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.
Ki Mobility strongly recommends the use of Anti-Tip tubes!
WARNING: 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. 28)
a. Compress the 2nd detent button on the anti-tip tube so the front detent button is drawn
inside.
b. Insert the anti-tip tube into receiver mounted on the camber tube.
c. 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.
d. Insert second anti-tip tube the same way.
