NOTE: When changes to the left hand column occur, follow across the chart and refer to the proce-
dure that is checked ( ü ) to maintain the proper stability, safety and handling of the wheelchair.
Seat-to-floor heights have specific positions depending on rear wheel size,
rear wheel position, front caster size and front caster position. These
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the
chart in INSTALLING/ADJUSTING THE ANTI-TIPPERS in SECTION 8 of
this 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
ordered to maintain a 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the release button of
the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole on the bottom of the
wheelchair frame.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
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 an
additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
