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

Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or gravel surfaces, anti tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.
