WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attach- ing hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

INSTALLING/ADJUSTING THE 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 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 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 ordered and installed.

Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes.

Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
