Replacing Anti-tipper

ƽ WARNING

When anti-tippers are used, anti-tippers MUST be adjusted to maintain a 1-1/2 to

2-inch (3.81 and 5.08 cm) clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels

and the ground/floor. This spacing should always be checked whenever adjust-

ments/changes are made to the wheelchair. Failure to maintain proper spacing may

result in the chair tipping over backward causing serious injury or property damage.

1. Press in the release button that secures the existing anti-tipper to the anti-tipper socket

and remove the anti-tipper from the anti-tipper socket.

2. Insert the new anti-tipper into the anti-tipper socket until release button engages.

3. Press in the release button on the anti-tipper bar and install the anti-tipper wheels onto

the new anti-tipper bar.

4. Repeat STEPS 1-3 for the opposite anti-tipper.

5. Measure the distance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground

floor.

6. If necessary, adjust the height of the anti-tippers. Refer to Adjusting Anti-tipper on

page 58.
