SECTION 9—ANTI-TIPPERS/WHEEL LOCKS

 

WARNING

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is 

tightened securely. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.

Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers

 

WARNING

Anti-tippers are specific to the different 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, the 
correct anti-tippers MUST be used to maintain a 1

1

/

2

 to 2 inch ground clearance. 

If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an 

option 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.
