Operating Information

Anti-tippers
WARNING
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the charts in
Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers on page 62 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 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance.
Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: 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.
Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST be installed.
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.
