5. Anti-tippers (available as an accessory)

5.1 How to use Alber anti-tippers

Alber anti-tippers not only prevent the wheelchair from tipping but also assist the

attendant when attaching and removing the manually-operated wheels and e-ﬁx wheels.

Proceed as follows:

Press your foot against the anti-tippers,

as shown in the illustration.

You can now attach or remove a wheel.

Repeat the procedure with the second

anti-tippers on the other side of the wheel-

chair.

Do not use the ani-tippers as transit wheels. Make sure that the wheelchair stands in

a secure position and does not move.

5.2 Attachment and removal of the Alber anti-tippers

As most standard wheelchairs are already equipped with anti-tippers, Alber anti-tippers are

offered as accessories. Should your e-ﬁx also include the Alber anti-tippers, these have

already been adjusted to your wheelchair before leaving the factory and only have to be

attached as described below.

· First remove the quick pins [40] from the holding device [41] by pressing your thumb on

the center of the pin while lifting it out with your middle and index ﬁnger.

· Insert the anti-tippers [44] into the holding device [41].

· Secure the

anti-tippers in the holding device [41] with the quick pins [40]. Press the

locking mechanism in the center of the locking pin and push the pin entirely into the

holding device.

Simultaneously pull the wheelchair up-

wards and backwards using the handles,

until the wheelchair is lifted slightly from

the ground and the anti-tipper lock into

position.

You can put the anti-tippers back into the

starting position if the wheels have been

attached. Simply push the wheelchair for-

ward and at the same time hold back the

retaining bar with your foot.
