SECTION 9—ANTI-TIPPERS/WHEEL

LOCKS

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

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1 and FIGURE 9.2 on page 42.

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.

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.

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: To ensure the correct model anti-tipper is used refer to FIGURE 9.1. Measurements for

anti-tippers are approximate and are taken with extension tube in bottom hole position.
