6.11 Crutch holder
Crutch holder (Fig. 6.11.1)
This device permits crutches to be transported directly
on the wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop to fasten
crutches or other aids.
WARNING!
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids while
moving.
6.12 Anti tip tubes
WARNING!
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-tip tubes are fitted for all chairs.
When fitting anti-tip tubes, use a torque of 7 Nm (2).
Anti-tip tubes prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards,
providing additional safety for users familiarising themselves with the
operation of the wheelchair.
Plug in Type
Slotting the anti-tip tubes into the clamp:
•
Press the rear button on the adapter for the anti-tip tube in such a
way that both release pins are pulled inwards.
•
Slot the anti-tip tubes (1) into the anti-tip tube adapter.
•
Rotate the anti-tip tubes downwards, until the release pin clicks
into place in the clamp.
•
Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
Adjusting the anti-tip tubes
To achieve the correct ground clearance of approx. 1" to 2" (2.5 cm to
5.0 cm), the anti-tip tubes must be set higher or lower.
•
Push the release lever for the anti-tip tube in such a way that both
release pins are pulled inwards.
•
Move the inner tube upwards or downwards in the height-
adjustment holes.
•
Release the button.
•
Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
•
Both wheels must be at the same height. (Fig. 6.12.1).
Swing-away Type
Push down on the top of the anti-tip tube, (1), to bring them into
position, (Fig. 6.12.2).
A 30 - 50 mm gap should be maintained between the anti tip wheels
and the ground.
The anti-tips can also be swung into a forwards position. The anti-
tips must always be in the forward position when negotiating large
obstacles, (such as kerbs), to prevent them from interfering with the
manoeuvre.
DANGER!
If the anti-tip tubes are not fitted, or have been fitted incorrectly, there
is a risk of tipping over and of injury.
