SECTION 10—ANTI-TIPPERS

WARNING

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.

Installing/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 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, Invacare strongly recommends using 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 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.

Installing Anti-Tippers

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.1 on page 39.

1.Remove plug button (not shown) from end of rear frame tubing.

2.Press the release button in and insert the anti‐tipper into the step tube until the release button locks in the hole on the bottom of the step tube.

3.Ensure anti‐tippers wheels are facing down. Refer to Changing Orientation of Anti‐Tip Wheels on page 39.

4.Measure the distance between the bottom of the anti‐tipper wheels and the ground/floor.

NOTE: A 1½ to 2‐inch clearance between the bottom of the anti‐tipper wheels and the ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.

5.If the distance between the bottom of anti‐tipper wheels and the ground/floor is not 1½ to 2‐inches, adjust anti‐tippers. Refer to Adjusting Anti‐Tippers on page 40.
