Anti-Tip Tubes

Anti-Tip Tubes (Fig. 4.25- 4.26)
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. 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 be tween 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.
WARNING!
Incorrect set up of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a
rearwards tip.
