Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push Handles
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them from
sliding out unintentionally. Opening the quick-release lever
(1) makes it possible to adjust the height of the push
handles (2) to meet your individual needs. As you move
the lever, you will hear a locking mechanism; you can now
easily position the push handle as desired. The nut on the
tension lever determines how tightly the push handles are
clamped into place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the
tension lever, the push handle will also be too loose. Turn
the push handle from side to side before use to make sure
that it is clamped securely enough into place. After
adjusting the handle height, always clamp the tension
lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not secure,
injuries could result when ascending stairs. (Fig. 4.29).
NOTE – If the height-adjustable push handles are not
fitted properly, there is a risk that these will develop "play"
or that they move out of position. Please make sure that
the relevant screws are tightened correctly.
If the push handles are not in use, they can be folded
down depressing the button (2). When they are needed
again, simply flip them back up until they click into place.
(Fig. 4.30).
To achieve the correct ground clearance of approx. 1" to
2" (2.5 cm to 5.0 cm), the anti-tip tubes must be raised or
lowered.
Press the anti-tip tube release button, so that both release
pins are drawn inwards. Move the inner tube up or down
to slot into the height holes provided. Release the button.
Fit the second anti-tip wheel in the same way. Both
wheels should be at the same height. (Fig. 4.31).
DANGER !
Sunrise Medical Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:
If the anti-tip tubes are not fitted, or have been fitted
incorrectly, there is a risk of tipping over and of injury.

WARNING !
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-tip tubes for all chairs.
When fitting anti-tip tubes, use a torque of 7 Nm.
a. Press the rear button on the anti-tip tube on the anti-tip
tube adapter, so that both release pins are drawn inwards.
b. Slot the anti-tip tubes (1) into the anti-tip tube adapter.
c. Turn the anti-tip tubes downwards until the release pin
locks into the clamp.
d. Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
The active Anti tip is mounted on the left or right side of
the axle tube. By pushing it towards the axle tube, it can
be flipped downwards for operation, (Fig.4.31.1).
WARNING!
Make sure that the anti tip will lock in the final position. An
unlocked active anti tip can lead to serious injury of the
user.
