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 on page 81 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 attached 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.
Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST
be ordered and 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.
