10.1Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers

￿ 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 an Invacare dealer or qualified technician. Any changes to the seat-to-floor angle or seat-to-floor height may require different anti-tippers.

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 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.

Seat-to-floor height (which includes changing rear wheel size): If changing the seat-to-floor height with or without changing the rear wheel size, the correct anti-tippers MUST be ordered to maintain a 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.

Non-recliners Only - 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 an additional safeguard for the

wheelchair user.

Recliners and Wheelchairs with 1-Inch Forward Rear Wheel Positioners Only - Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times.

Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the release buttons of the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole on the bottom of the wheelchair frame and out of hole in the adjustment tube.

Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
