4.15. Tip protection
33
• The anti-tipping protectors, known as anti-tippers, prevent the
wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
• It is highly recommended that the anti-tippers be used when
the wheelchair is being operated by inexperienced users or by
wheelchair users with an amputated leg.
• The anti-tippers are attached as a pair to the right-hand and left-
hand sides of the frame.
• The height of the anti-tippers can be adjusted.
• Press the positioning pin inwards and slide the anti-tipper into the
desired position (Fig. 34).
• Make sure that both anti-tippers are placed at the same height

Always use the anti-tip wheels in pairs.
The anti-tippers will only work when set to the first
two holes. When the anti-tippers are fully retracted,
the wheelchair should only be used when the person
in the wheelchair has someone assisting them.

4.16. Tipping lever

• The tipping lever makes it easier for an assistant to tilt the
wheelchair slightly backwards in order to go over a step for
example.
• To do this, push the lever down using your foot (Fig. 35)
• Use the push handles to keep your balance.
• Use the frame on the anti-tippers as a tipping lever.
4.17. Head rest
• The Protego wheelchair is equipped with a headrest; its angle,
height and depth can be adjusted.
• Pull the locking mechanism on the backrest out (Fig. 36).
• Position the headrest at the desired height and then let go of the
locking mechanism.
• The slide bar will snap into place in the next possible position.
• The depth of the headrest can be adjusted with the help of a quick
release fastener in the neck area of the headrest (Fig. 37)
• Place the headrest at the required depth.
• Re-tighten the screws.
• Loosen the screw.
• Put the headrest at the desired angle (Fig. 38).
• Then re-tighten the screws.
