ƽ WARNING
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and spring buttons fully protruding out of
adjustment holes before using the wheelchair.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on

the wheelchair.

secured in place.

bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the
ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.
