Checking The Anti-Tippers For Smoothness Of Operation And Correct Function - Invacare Zephyr User Manual

12.2 Checking the anti-tippers for smoothness of operation and
correct function
When testing the function of the anti-tippers, it makes no
differnce whether the user is seated in the wheelchair or
not.
Smoothness of operation
• Lift up the anti-tipper (1) and release it again. If it can be
pulled up without difficulty and it then returns by itself to
its original lower position, then it is functioning smoothly.
• In case the anti-tipper does return to its original position
by itself, then the wheelchair must be checked
immediately by an authorised Invacare Dealer!
• In case the anti-tipper jams when pulled upwards, then
the immobilisation mechanism needs to be be adjusted.
Please see chapter "Adjusting the Immobilisation
mechanism of the anti-tippers" on page 78.
• Repeat the procedure on the other side.
