The manufacture strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard
for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tip tubes prevent a wheelchair from tipping over backward when properly installed.
Anti-tippers must be fully engaged. Ensure the release button (A) of the anti-tipper fully
protrudes out of the hole on the bottom of wheelchair frame when installing.
An interval of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 mm to 5mm) should be maintained between the anti-tip
tubes and the ground. Use the release button (B) to make needed adjustments.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
