Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers
WARNING
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor
heights. Refer to the chart in this section of the manual for correct usage and
adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the
wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. Any changes to the seat-to-floor angle or
seat-to-floor height may require different anti-tippers.
If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the
anti-tippers are an option for this wheelchair (You may order with or without the
anti-tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as a
safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of
adjustment holes.
ALWAYS use anti-tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel
surfaces, anti tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tipover.
Extra caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
