Anti-tippers are specific to the rear wheel size and/
or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the charts in this
procedure and in ADJUSTING FRONT SEAT-TO-

changes to the seat-to-floor height may require
a different anti-tipper adjustment.

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

approximate and are taken using the TOP adjusment
hole ont he anti-tipper (DETAIL "A").

tom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor.

tipper wheels to the anti-tipper bar.
