3.8 Anti-tipper

An anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping
backwards.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
Anti-tippers that are incorrectly set or no longer
working can lead to overturning.
– Always check that the anti-tipper is working
before using the wheelchair and have it set
or readjusted by an authorized dealer when
required.
– In some configurations, the static stability
of the wheelchair may be lower than 10°;
Invacare® strongly recommends the use of
anti-tipper (available as an option).
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
On uneven or soft ground, the anti-tipper can sink
into potholes or directly into the ground, thereby
curtailing or eliminating its safety function.
– Only use the anti-tipper when travelling on
even and firm ground.
