Align the Frame Clamp Assembly
This step requires 3 components:
•
Wheelchair
•
Frame Clamp Assembly (loosely attached to chair)
•
Vertical S-bend Tube (ROP Attached)
Slide the Vertical S-Bend Tube into the Frame Clamp Assembly. Use the tube as a lever in the outer
piece to align the Frame Clamp Assembly.
Sideways alignment:
Hold the Vertical S-Bend Tube parallel to the
wheelchair and tighten the Frame Clamp “Cap” bolts alternating between
each bolt.
When completely tight there should be a gap of 1/32” to 1/64” between the Cap & Body of
the frame clamp on round tube. A larger gap indicates
the frame clamp may be too small for the tube. If there
is no gap and the inner piece does not clamp the
wheelchair tube firmly; up to 4 layers of aluminum foil
may be wrapped around the wheelchair tube, however
if more layers are needed it indicates the frame clamp
is too large. Contact Daedalus Technologies for
information on adapter sleeves.
Forward/Backward Alignment
Align the Vertical S-Bend Tube then carefully remove the tube to access the
Swivel Clamp bolts taking care not to move the RFCR. Alternate between
the two bolts several times, tightening each one until the two bolts are as
tight as possible.
Adjust the height and S-bend orientation
Loosen the Pinch Clamp on the ROP. Adjust the Vertical S-Bend tube to
correct height and orientation. Tighten the Pinch Clamp.
Caution:
The bolt on the Pinch Clamp should not be excessively tightened. The Pinch Clamp grips the Vertical S-Bend tube sufficient to prevent it rotating in the Index
Clamp or Removable Outer Piece when the Horizontal Tube is pushed firmly by a user. By design the Pinch Clamp does not provide an immoveable grip.
Extreme tightening of the Pinch Clamp bolt on the Vertical S-Bend tube in an attempt to prevent the Horizontal Tube from moving when very forcefully
pushed will crush the tube and jam the Pinch Clamp. DAESSY mounting assemblies are designed to carry the weight of a computer or communication
device and are not intended to resist a strong force exerted by the user.
