SECTION 15—ANTI-TIPPERS
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

Installing/Removing the Anti-Tippers

Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and spring buttons fully protruding out of
adjustment holes BEFORE using the wheelchair.
Ensure both anti-tippers have the same ground clearance.
A 1½ to 2-inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the
ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or
gravel surfaces, anti tippers may not provide the same level of protection against
tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 15.1.

ground/floor.
3. If the distance between the bottom of the anti‐tipper wheels and the ground/floor is
not 1½‐2‐inches, do not use the anti‐tippers. Replace anti‐tippers and repeat STEPS 1
and 2.
