ƽ WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
Adjusting/Replacing Anti-tipper
ƽ WARNING
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an
option on this wheelchair (you may order it with or without the anti-tippers),
Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard
for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure the release button of the anti-tipper
fully protrudes out of the hole in the anti-tipper socket.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.1 on page 59.
NOTE: To ensure the correct model anti-tipper is used refer to FIGURE 10.1. Measurements for
anti-tippers are approximate and are taken using the top adjustment hole on the anti-tipper
(Detail “A”).
Adjusting Anti-tipper
ƽ WARNING
When anti-tippers are used, anti-tippers MUST be adjusted to maintain a 1-1/2 to
2-inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/
floor. This spacing should always be checked whenever adjustments/changes are
made to the wheelchair. Failure to maintain proper spacing may result in the chair
tipping over backward causing serious injury or property damage.
1. Press in the release button that secures the anti-tipper wheels to the anti-tipper bar.
2. Adjust the height of the anti-tipper wheels to between 1-1/2 and 2-inches (3.81 and 5.08
cm) of the ground/floor.
3. Repeat STEPS 1-2 for the opposite anti-tipper.
