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:

νWhen coming to a stop, your power chair 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 farther to the rear of your power chair.
