Anti-tip Wheels

The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip

wheels are preset for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using your power chair on rough

surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs. The anti-tip wheels may

need adjustment if either of the following occur:

n When coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward excessively.

n The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.

WARNING! Consult your authorized

Pride Provider before attempting to

change the anti-tip wheel height!

Changing the anti-tip wheel height

affects handling under deceleration!

WARNING! The higher you raise the

anti-tip wheels, the more you increase

your power chair’s tendency to tilt

forward when coming to a stop. You

can compensate for this by having

your authorized Pride Provider make

a small adjustment to the pre-

programmed deceleration setting in

the controller or by moving the seat

assembly farther to the rear of your

power chair.

To adjust the anti-tip wheels:

1. Place a wrench on the inner locknut of the anti-

tip bracket located right after the shock strut. See

figure 24.

2. Turn the locknut counterclockwise to loosen the

cam.

3. Place your wrench on the adjustable cam located

on the other side of the locknut.

4. To adjust the anti-tip upward, turn the cam coun-

terclockwise. To adjust the anti-tip downward, turn

the cam clockwise. See figure 25.

5. Tighten the locknut.

NOTE: Each drive tire must have 35 psi in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
