STABILITY - ALL MODELS

WARNING

The seat depth, back height/angle, seat angle, size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear wheels, anti-tipper model, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the ten (10) may cause the wheelcahir to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be per- formed by a qualified technician.

NOTE: When changes to the left hand column occur, follow across the chart and refer to the

procedure to maintain the proper stability, safety and handling of the wheelchair.

The various seat-to-floor heights require specific settings depending on rear wheel size, rear wheel position, front caster size/position and desired seat-to-floor angle. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.

ANTI-TIPPERS

Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to- floor heights. Refer to the chart in INSTALLING/ADJUSTING THE ANTI- TIPPERS in SECTION 8 of this manual 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 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.

Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be at- tached 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.
