Sideguard With Clothes Protector (Fig.6.31)
The clothes protector prevents clothes getting dirty from spray
water. You can set the position in relation to the rear wheel by
moving the sideguard.
To do this, remove the fixing screws (1 and 2).
After setting to the desired position, re-tighten the screws (see
the page on torque).
CAUTION!
Neither the sideguards nor the armrests are to be used for
lifting or carrying the wheelchair

Push Handles

Height-Adjustable Push Handles (Fig.6.32)
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them from
sliding out unintentionally. Opening the quickrelease
lever makes it possible to adjust the height of the push handles
to meet your individual needs. As you move the lever, you will
hear a locking mechanism; you may now easily position the
push handle as desired. The nut on the tension lever
determines how tightly the push handles are clamped into place.
If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the push
handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from side to
side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely enough
into place. After adjusting the handle height, always clamp the
tension lever securely into place. If the lever is not secure,
injuries could result when ascending stairs.

Push handle

Fold-Down Push Handles (Fig.6.33)
If the push handles are not in use, they can be folded down by
depressing the button, (1). When they are needed again, simply
flip them back up until they click into place.

Anti-tip tubes

Anti-Tip Tubes (Fig.6.34)
The anti-tip tubes (1) provide additional 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. The anti-tip tube (1) can be swung downwards
by pushing it or rotated forwards. There should be a gap of 30 to
50 mm to the floor. To go up or down a step (e.g. kerb) the anti-
tip tubes must be swung forwards, to prevent them from touching
the ground.
WARNING!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a
rearwards tip.

Crutch holder

Crutch Holder (Fig.6.35)
This device permits crutches to be transported directly on the
wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use / remove the crutches or other aids while
moving.
