Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers
ƽ 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 for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be
achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. If changing the
seat-to-floor height with or without a change to seat-to-floor angle, the correct anti-tippers must
be used to maintain a 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance.
Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti-tippers must be attached at all times.
Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option for 0° or 3° on this wheelchair, Invacare strongly
recommends using the anti-tippers as a safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers must be installed.
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.
