WARNINGS: COMPONENTS & OPTIONS

WARNING

Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward in most nor- mal conditions.

1.Sunrise recommends use Of anti-tip tubes:

a.UNLESS you are a skilled wheelchair user of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

b.Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

2.When locked in place (in the “correct” position) anti-tip tubes should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.

a.If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.

b.If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your chair may tip over.

3.Keep anti-tip tubes locked in place UNLESS:

a.You have an attendant; or

b.You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
