Anti-tip tubes can help keep your chair from tipping over backward
in most normal conditions.
1. Sunrise Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip Tubes:
a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change
may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes
until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over.
2. When locked in place (in the "down" position) anti-tip tubes
should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground.
a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can
expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your
chair may tip over.
3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
a. You have an attendant; or
b. You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an
obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these
times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
