V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
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 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 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.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1. Place a wrench on the inner locknut of the anti-tip bracket located right after your shock strut. See figure 16.
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 counterclockwise. To adjust the anti-tip downward, turn the cam clockwise. See
figure 17.
5. Tighten the locknut.
NOTE: Each drive tire must have at least 30 psi in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more you increase your power chairs 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.
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!
