Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your Jazzy increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory to a height of 1/2-in. off the ground. This setting is for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using your Jazzy 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:
νWhen coming to a stop, your Jazzy tips forward excessively.
νThe 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 further to the rear of your power chair.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1.Remove the anti-tip wheel. See figure 18.
2.Remove the nut and bolt on the anti-tip bracket. See figure 18.
3.Raise or lower the anti-tip wheel.
4.Reinstall the nut and bolt on the anti-tip bracket.
5.Reinstall the wheel.
6.Raise or lower the other anti-tip bracket so that it is at the same height.
NOTE: Each drive tire must have at least 30 psi in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
