injury or damage may occur.

WARNING
Inasmuch as anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare
strongly recommends ordering anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers are specific to the different rear wheels and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the following charts for correct
usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair. Contact an Invacare dealer
or qualified technician. Any changes to the seat-to-floor angle or seat-to-floor height may require different anti-tippers. The
correct anti-tippers must be ordered to maintain a 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the locking pin of the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole on the side
of the wheelchair frame. Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
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.

For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1 on page 49.
 To ensure the correct model anti-tipper is used refer to the following chart. Measurements for anti-tippers are
approximate.
