SAFETY SUMMARY

To ensure the safe installation and use of the Anti-tippers, these instructions MUST be followed:

WARNING

Do not operate this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet and the owner's manual, part number 1056953, for the 9000 series wheelchairs or the owner's manual, part number 1100868, for Jymni wheelchairs. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions, and instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or a qualified technician before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise injury or damage may result.

Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the chart in this instruction sheet 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.

9000 WHEELCHAIRS WITH A SEAT-TO-FLOOR ANGLE OF 0° OR 3° AND JYMNI NON-RECLINERS ONLY - 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.

9000 WHEELCHAIRS WITH A SEAT-TO-FLOOR ANGLE OF 6° ONLY - If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED.

JYMNI RECLINERS AND JYMNI WHEELCHAIRS WITH 1-INCH FORWARD REAR WHEEL POSITIONERS ONLY - Anti-tippers MUST

be attached at all times. Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and spring buttons fully protruding

out of adjustment holes, BEFORE using the wheelchair. Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
