WARNING
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and spring buttons fully protruding out of
adjustment holes before using the wheelchair.
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 tip
over. Extra caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces.
Make sure the anti-tipper wheels are pointing towards the ground/floor before using
the wheelchair.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 6.14.
1. Press the release buttons in and insert
anti-tippers with the anti-tipper wheels
pointing toward the ground/floor into
the wheelchair frame until the two
locking pins on each anti-tipper are
secured in place.
NOTE: A 1½ to 2-inch clearance between the
bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the
ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.
