SECTION 9-WHEEL LOCKS AND ANTI-TIPPERS Installing/Adjusting Anti-Tippers ƽ WARNING 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 1½ to 2-inch ground clearance. 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. Invacare strongly recommends that anti-tippers be used at all times. The manual wheelchair is intended for indoor and outdoor use on firm surfaces. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. DO NOT operate on soft surfaces such as sand, grass or gravel. NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.2. NOTE: A 1½ to 2-inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the floor MUST be maintained at all times. Installing Anti-Tippers 1. Remove the anti-tippers from the accessory carton. ƽ WARNING Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and spring buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes. 2. Press the release button in and insert the anti-tippers into the anti-tipper mounting bracket on the wheelchair frame until the spring button protrudes from the top adjustment hole. 3. Ensure the anti-tipper wheels are 1½ to 2-inches from the ground/floor. 4. Adjust the anti-tipper if necessary. Refer to Adjusting Anti-Tippers on page 63. Compass™SPT™ 62 Part No 1122134
