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 in this section of the 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 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance.
If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the
anti-tippers are an option 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.
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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1 and FIGURE 9.2.
Installing Anti-Tippers
NOTE: To ensure the correct model anti-tipper is used refer to FIGURE 9.1. Measurements for
anti-tippers are approximate and are taken with extension tube in bottom hole position.
