6.11 Crutch holder

Crutch holder (Fig. 6.11.1)
This device permits crutches to be transported directly

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.
