Using Foldable Antitippers; Use On Public Roads - Invacare Storm4 Series User Manual

Invacare® Storm®⁴ Series
Important information about regulating the
actuator functions on gradients
– Your mobility device is fitted with an angle
sensor which guarantees tipping stability. The
sensor measures the actual angle of the drive
unit, and prevents any further decrease in
stability by restricting the functionality of the
adjustment actuators. If this safety function is
activated, the backrest and the seat tilting can
only be moved forwards, and the lifter can only
be lowered. Reposition your mobility device on
level ground so that the actuators can function
normally again.

6.7 Using foldable antitippers

Where space is restricted, e.g. in an elevator or when being
transported in a car, the mobility device may be too long.
Foldable antitippers can be useful here. These can only be
operated by an attendant as they are positioned beyond
the reach of the user.
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping if the antitippers are not returned
to the driving position before moving off
– Always return the antitippers to the driving
position before moving off (see the figure
below).
– Make sure that the locking pin is fully engaged.

1. Pull out the locking pin A to release the antitipper.
2. Fold the antitipper down.
The mobility device is now shorter.
Folding the antitipper up:
1. Fold the antitipper upwards until the locking pin audibly
engages.
The antitipper is functional again.

6.8 Use on Public Roads

If you wish to use your mobility device on public roads
and lighting is required by national legislation, then your
mobility device needs to be fitted with an appropriate
lighting system. Additional modifications may be required
depending on the country.
Contact your Invacare provider if you have any questions.
