TRANSIT USE 

 

Your chair has been manufactured with built-in Transport 
Brackets on. 
These transport brackets have not been crash-tested in 
accordance with WC-19. Use these transport brackets only to 
secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport 
1.  NEVER let anyone sit in this chair while in a 
moving vehicle. 
2.  NEVER transport this chair in the front seat of a 
vehicle. It may shift and interfere with the driver 
3.  ALWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot 
roll or shift. 
4.  Do not use any chair that has been   involved in a 
motor vehicle accident. 

VIII. SET-UP, ADJUSTMENT AND USE 

NOTES 

 
1.  Work Surface for Set-Up: 
Use a flat surface, such as a table, to assemble, adjust and 
check your chair. This makes the steps easier and helps 
ensure a correct set-up. 
2. Fasteners: 

  Many of the screws and bolts on this chair are special 

high- strength fasteners and may have special coatings. 

  Many nuts are of the Nylock type. They have a plastic 

insert to help prevent loosening. 

  Only use screws, bolts and nuts provided by Amypower. 

 

  WARNING 

 

1.  Use of improper fasteners may cause the chair to fail. 
2.  Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or 

cause damage to chair parts. 

3.  If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as 

soon as you can. Loose bolts or screws can cause 
damage to other chair parts causing them to fail. 

3.  Washers & Spacers: 

  Note the position of washers and spacers before 

disassembly. 

 

To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers 

and spacers when you reassemble parts. 

 

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED 
 

1. Basic Tool Kit: 
To set-up, adjust and maintain your chair you 
may need the following tools: 

  Combined Phillips and flat screw driver 

  Standard metric wrenches from 10mm 

  Metric Allen wrenches from 5mm 

  Imperial wrenches from 1/4" to 9/16" 

  Imperial Allen wrenches from 5/64" to 1/4" 

These tools can be found in standard hardware 
stores. 
 

2.  Torque Wrench: 
 

If you plan to adjust and maintain this chair 
yourself, Amypower recommends that you use a 
torque wrench. 
 
NOTE- The wrench must measure inch-pounds (N.m). You 
can buy a torque wrench and proper sockets from a hardware 
store.
