WARNING!
Tipping hazard if anti-tippers are removed,
damaged or changed to a position different to
the factory settings
– Anti-tippers should only ever be removed for
dismantling the mobility device for transport in
a vehicle or for storage.
– The anti-tippers must always be fitted if the
mobility device is being used.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
The hanging of additional load (back pack
or similar items) onto your wheelchair back
posts can affect the rearward stability of your
wheelchair. This can cause the chair to tip
backwards causing injury.
– Always make sure that the anti-tipper device is
fitted correctly on each side when using your
back posts with additional load (back pack or
similar items).
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from the backrest folding over
during use
If the folding backrest has not engaged properly,
it may fold backwards unexpectedly when load is
placed on it and you may fall from the wheelchair.
– Before using the wheelchair, make sure that
the backrest is folded up and the hinges have
engaged.
