adjustment holes BEFORE using the wheelchair.
Ensure both anti-tippers have the same ground clearance.
A 1½ to 2-inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the
ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or
gravel surfaces, anti tippers may not provide the same level of protection against
tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.

the ground/floor.
3. If the distance between the bottom of
the anti-tipper wheels and the

use the anti-tippers. Replace
anti-tippers and repeat STEPS 1 and 2.
