10 ANTI-TIPPERS/WHEEL LOCKS 10 Anti-tippers/Wheel Locks ƽ WARNING After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.  The procedures in this section apply to non-recliner models only except where noted. For the 9000XT recliner, refer to Recliner on page 70. 10.1 Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers ƽ WARNING Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the chart in this section of the manual for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seat-to-floor height with or without a change to seat-to-floor angle, the correct anti-tippers MUST be used to maintain a 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance. Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option for 0° or 3° on this wheelchair (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. Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes. ALWAYS use anti-tippers. 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 both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole. Invacare® 9000 Series Wheelchair 62 Part No. 1056953
