SAFETY SUMMARY

The following recommendations are made for safe in- stallation and adjustment of the Front Anti-tippers:

GENERAL WARNINGS

DO NOT install or use this kit without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempt- ing to install this kit - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BE- FORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

Front anti-tippers are recommended by Invac- are when using elevating legrests. Even though a wheelchair is equipped with front anti-tippers, individuals should be taught to elevate legrests, swing front riggings aside and/or flip up footplates so they are out of the way BEFORE placing feet firmly on the floor when entering or exiting the wheelchair. This will permit individuals to stand close to front edge of the seat and lower him- self/herself well enough back onto the seat.

Ensure Front Anti-Tippers are adjusted to the same height - otherwise the wheelchair may tip to one side and injury or damage may occur.

INSTALLATION CAUTION

When securing the front anti-tippers to the wheel- chair frame. DO NOT overtighten the attaching hardware, otherwise damage to the wheelchair frame may occur.
