Anti-tippers
2
Part No 1086188
INSTALLATION WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the locking pin of the anti-tipper
fully protrudes out of the hole on the wheelchair frame. Ensure both anti-tippers are
adjusted to the same height.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. 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 the anti-tipper wheels are pointing towards the ground/floor BEFORE
operating the wheelchair.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all
attaching component parts are secure.
