Invacare® Action 4 NG

3.9 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 a qualified technician 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.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage
– Never step on the anti-tipper or use it as a
tipping aid.
