12 ANTI-TIPPERS/WHEEL LOCKS 12 Anti-tippers/Wheel Locks 12.1 Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers ƽ WARNING If so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option 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. 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. If changing the seat-to-floor height, a 11/2 to 2 inch ground clearance must be maintained. Installing Anti-Tipper 1. Press the release buttons and insert the anti-tippers with the anti-tipper wheels pointing toward the ground/floor into the wheelchair frame tubing. 2. Ensure that the release button of the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole in the bottom of the wheelchair frame tubing. 3. Place the wheelchair on a flat surface. 4. Measure the distance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor.  A 11/2 to 2 inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times. 5. If the distance between the bottom of anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor is not 11/2 to 2 inches, adjust anti-tippers. Refer to Adjusting the Anti-Tippers. on page 39.
