WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise

WARNING
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the chart in this section of
the manual 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 1

to 2 inch ground clearance.
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.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes.
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.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
