Options – Anti-Tip Tubes

Anti-Tip Tubes

Sunrise Medical recommends anti-
tip tubes for all chairs. When fitting
anti-tip tubes, use a torque of 16
Nm.
1. Slotting the anti-tip tubes into
the clamp
a. Press the rear button on the
anti-tip tube on the anti-tip tube
adapter, 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 down-
wards 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
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 (3), so that
both release pins are drawn inwards. Move the inner
tube up or down to slot into the height holes provi-
ded (K). Release the button. Fit the second anti-tip
wheel in the same way. Both wheels should be at
the same height.
Options - Seat

Seat sling

(7.101.3)
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 scr-
ews again. If the screws are diffi-
cult 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.
Options – Seat Depth
Seat depth growth (Optional)
(7.102.3)
Caution: This option is not availa-
ble in Switzerland, due to legal
patent reasons!
Using the optional cylinder for an
offset seat, the backrest tubes can
be moved either 1" (2.5 cm) or 2"
(5 cm) further back than with the
standard 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 2.
3. If a seat depth increase of approx. 2" (5 cm) is
required, screw (1) is screwed into hole 3.

Options – Crutch holder

Crutch holder

(7.110)
This device permits crutches to be transpor-
ted directly on the wheelchair. It has a Velcro
loop to fasten crutches or other aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use or even remove the
1
crutches or other aids while moving.
Options – Travel Wheels

Travel Wheels

(7.113)
Travel wheels should be used wherever your
wheelchair would be too wide if the rear
wheels were used. After the rear wheels have
been removed with the aid of the quick-relea-
se axles, the transit wheels can immediately
be used to continue riding. The transit wheels
are mounted so that they are approx. 3 cm
above the ground when not in use. They are
thus out of the way when riding, transporting,
or when tipping to pass over obstacles.
CAUTION!
Without rear wheels, your wheelchair has no wheel
locks.
NOTE: When the chair is to be set up with the
transit wheels and the anti-tip tubes, the transit
mounting (G) must be installed between the
camber tube clamp (I) and the anti-tip tube
clamp mounting (not shown).

Tyres and Mounting

Tyres and mounting
Always make sure that you maintain the correct tyre pres-
sure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance.
If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increa-
se, requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low
tyre pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrabili-
ty. If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst.
The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is printed on
the surface of the tyre.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle
tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make
3
sure that the base of the rim and interior of the tyre are free
of foreign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or
repairing a tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the
wheelchair's performance that regulation air pressure be
maintained and that tyres are in good condition.
