After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an
option on this wheelchair (you may order it with or without the anti-tippers),
Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard
for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of
adjustment holes.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
