SAFETY SUMMARY
The following recommendations are made for safe installation and adjustment of the Front Anti-tippers:
GENERAL WARNINGS
DO NOT install or use this kit without first reading
and understanding this instruction sheet. If you
are unable to understand the W arnings, Cautions
or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional,
dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this kit - otherwise, injury or damage
may occur.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage
may occur.
Front anti-tippers are recommended by Invacare when using elevating legrests. Even though
a wheelchair is equipped with front anti-tippers,
individuals should be taught to elevate legrests,
swing front riggings aside and/or flip up footplates
so they are out of the way BEFORE placing feet
firmly on the floor when entering or exiting the
wheelchair. This will permit individuals to stand
close to front edge of the seat and lower himself/herself well enough back onto the seat.
Ensure Front Anti-Tippers are adjusted to the
same height - otherwise the wheelchair may
tip to one side and injury or damage may
occur.
The Front Anti-Tippers Kit (Right and Left)
consists of:
