NOTE: When changes to the left hand column occur, follow across the chart and refer to the
ü procedure to maintain the proper stability, safety and handling of the wheelchair.
The various seat-to-floor heights require specific settings depending on
rear wheel size, rear wheel position, front caster size/position and desired
seat-to-floor angle. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified
technician.
ANTI-TIPPERS
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-
floor heights. Refer to the chart in INSTALLING/ADJUSTING THE ANTI-
TIPPERS in SECTION 8 of this manual 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 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.
Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be at-
tached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option for 0° or 3°
on 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.
