SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

ANTI-TIPPERS

Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights.
Refer to the chart in INSTALLING/ADJUSTING ANTI-TIPPERS on page 49 of this
manual for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO
NOT use the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. Any changes to the seat-to-floor
angle or seat-to-floor height may require different anti-tippers.
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.
Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: (You may order with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare
strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as a safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST be
ordered and installed.
Seat-to-floor height (which includes seat-to-floor angle): If changing the seat-to-floor
height with or without a change to seat-to-floor angle, the correct anti-tippers MUST be
ordered to maintain a 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance.

REPAIR AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the
wheelchair is unoccupied.

OPERATING INFORMATION

DO determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare
professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may
cause the wheelchair and/or seating system to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the
wheelchair and/or seating system may tip over.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may
occur.
Wheel locks are NOT brakes. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the
wheel locks.
