3.2Operating Information Anti-tippers

￿ WARNING

Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to Anti-tippers/Wheel Locks on page 54 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.

Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option for 0° or 3° 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.

Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST be installed. Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of the adjustment holes. Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.

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.

Non-recliners Only - Inasmuch as anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (You may order non-recliners with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached and pointing down towards ground/floor at all times.

Recliners and Wheelchairs with 1-inch Forward Rear Wheel Positioner Only - Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times.
