anti-tip tubes

quickie/argon anti-tip tubes
(Fig.6.32)
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-
tip tubes for all chairs. When fitting
anti-tip tubes, use a torque of 12
Nm.
1. Slotting the anti-tip tubes into
the clamp
a. Press the rear button on the anti-tip tube, so that both release
pins are drawn inwards.
b. Slot the anti-tip tubes (1) into the anti-tip tube adapter (2).
c. Turn the anti-tip tubes downwards until the release pin locks
into the clamp.
d. Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
2. Adjusting the anti-tip tubes (Fig.6.32)
To achieve the correct ground clearance of approx. 1" to 2"
(3.5 cm to 5.0 cm), the anti-tip tubes must be raised or lowered.
Press the anti-tip tube release button, so that both release pins
are drawn inwards. Move the inner tube up or down to slot into
the height holes provided. Release the button. Fit the second
anti-tip wheel in the same way. Both wheels should be at the
same height.
!
warnIng!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips, will increase the risk of a
rearwards tip. You must swing the anti-tips upwards when going
up or down large obsticles, (such as kerbs), to prevent them
touching the ground. Rotate them back into position for normal
use.

seat

seat sling
Remove the screws on the left side
of the sling. Adjust the VELCRO®
material to increase the tension
of the seat sling. Tighten up the
screws again.
If the screws are difficult to fit back
in place, try and locate the holes
with a sharp object. Ensure also
that the plastic base is in the correct position before the
screws are tightened again.

seat depth

seat depth growth (optional)
(Fig.6.34)
Using the optional cylinder for an
offset seal, the backrest tubes can
be moved either 1" (2.5 cm) or 2"
(5 cm) further back than with the
special seat cylinder.
1. Before fitting, establish which
back system (rigid back) is to be
used and which seat offset is required.
2. If a seat depth increase of approx. 1" (2.5 cm) is required,
screw (1) is screwed into hole 1.
3. If a seat depth increase of approx. 2" (5 cm) is required,
screw (1) is screwed into hole 2.

crutch holder

crutch holder (Fig.6.35)
This device permits crutches to be transported
directly on a wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop
(1) to fasten crutches or other aids.
cautIon:
Never try to use or even remove the crutches
or other aids while moving.

travel wheels

travel wheels (Fig.6.36)
Travel wheels should be used wherever
your wheelchair would be too wide if the
rear wheels were used (e.g., in airplanes,
buses, etc.). After the rear wheels have been
removed with the aid of the quick-release
axles, the transit wheels can immediately be
used to continue riding. The transit wheels
are mounted so that they are approx. 3 centi-
meters above the ground when not in use.
They are thus out of the way when riding,
transporting, or when tipping to pass over
obstacles (e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.).
cautIon:
Your wheelchair does not have any wheel locks when
the transit wheels are being used.
note: When the chair is to be set up with the transit
wheels and the anti-tip tubes, the transit mounting must
be installed between the camber tube clamp and the
anti-tip tube clamp mounting (not shown).

7.0 tyres and mounting

tyres and mounting
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct
tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair
performance. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling
resistance will increase, requiring more effort to move
the chair for ward. Low tyre pressure also has a negative
impact on maneuverability. If the tyre pressure is too
high, the tyre could burst.
The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed on the
surface of the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary
bicycle tyre. Before installing a new inner tube, you
should always make sure that the base of the rim
and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign ob jects.
Check the pressure after mounting or re pairing a tyre.
It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's
performance that regulation air pressure be maintained
and that tyres be in good condition.
