Anti-tippers
10.14.1
Adjusting the Height of the Anti-tippers
Anti-tippers MUST be used with your wheelchair at all times.
Because anti-tippers are an option in some markets on this
wheelchair, Motion Composites strongly recommends to order
the anti-tippers as they are an important safeguard for the
wheelchair user. Always use anti-tippers.
The anti-tippers should be between 1½ and 2 ¾ inches (40
to 70 mm) off the ground. Improper spacing may result in
wheelchair hang ups over obstacles or not preventing the
wheelchair from tipping.
• Press the push-button (1) (Fig. 40) and slide anti-tippers
extensions to desired length.
• Ensure the button snaps back into place.

If you are unable to adjust the anti-tippers to the proper
height, contact your Motion Composites dealer to
replace your anti-tipper for another size.
