cantilever or reclining armrests, loosen the handle (Image F). Using cutters, cut and remove both B00051 ties (A)
to retract the cable toward the backrest. Leave the appropriate length of cable as shown in the circles on the
right side of image F, depending on if a keypad is installed or not. Add an extra 1 inch of cable to allow the
joystick to swing away freely.

Excess cable should be secured in the back of the chair. Refer to previous sections 1 and 2 to recoil and attach
the excess cable this change has created.
WARNING: The slack in the cable to allow the joystick to swing away freely, should not exceed 1 inch. Do not
let any cable stick out from the wheelchair or form a loop that could catch on external objects when moving
around in the chair. This could cause
severe damage in the wheelchair’s components or power supply
.
