SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES  
Stability - Recliner Models Only  
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option.  
Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner.  
ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.  
Lift Kit Models only Both spring lift mechanisms MUST be operational before using the  
recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one (1) of the spring lift mechanisms  
is operational.  
Anti-Tippers  
Antitippers are specific to the different seattofloor angles and/or seattofloor heights.  
Refer to the charts in Installing/Adjusting Antitippers on page 80 for correct usage and  
adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair.  
Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seattofloor height with or without a  
change to seattofloor angle, the correct antitippers MUST be used to maintain a 1½ to  
2inch ground clearance.  
Seattofloor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, antitippers MUST be attached at all times.  
Inasmuch as the antitippers are an option for 0° or 3° on this wheelchair (you may order  
with or without the antitippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the  
antitippers as a safeguard for the wheelchair user.  
Seattofloor angle of 6°: If changing the seattofloor angle to 6°, antitippers MUST be  
installed.  
Operating Information  
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with  
Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested  
by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.  
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the  
wheelchair is unoccupied.  
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with  
cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning  
solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this  
warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.  
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high  
humidity and/or becomes wet, ensure prior to use that the handgrips do not twist on the  
handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.  
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious  
injury or damage to property may result.

WARNING  
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching  
hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.  
NOTE: The procedures in this section apply to nonrecliner models only except where noted. For  
the 9000XT recliner, refer to Recliner on page 58.  
Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers  
WARNING  
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor  
heights. Refer to the chart on page 81 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.  
Seat-to-floor angle of 0° or 3°: 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.  
Seat-to-floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat-to-floor angle to 6°, anti-tippers MUST  
be ordered and installed.  
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.  
Installing Anti-Tippers  
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 8.1.  
1. Remove plug button (not shown) from end of rear frame tubing and install antirattles  
if not already installed.  
2. Press the release buttons in and insert the antitippers with the antitipper wheels  
pointing toward the ground/floor into the rear frame tubing until the bottom release  
button locks in place.
