Wheel Lock Installation for 24” Wheels –
When the optional 24” wheels are
ordered with your commode the push to lock hand brakes will need to be
installed to the side frame seat rail.
The wheel lock assemblies are clamped to the seat rail (1) using a double
clamp that simultaneously tightens onto the seat rail and wheel lock mounting
bar.
1) Position the double clamp (2) onto the
seat rail and wheel lock mounting bar (3)
and tighten loosely so that the assembly
will hold together but can still be
adjusted.
2) Position the knurled brake bar (4)
horizontally in front of the tire and slide
the entire assembly along the seat rail as
needed until the distance from the front of
the wheel lock mounting bar to the front of the seat rail is
approximately 8.5 cm (3 3/8”).
3) Tighten up the double clamp (2) enough to test the wheel lock and
ensure the brake bar (4) indents into the tire far enough to prevent
the wheel from turning when wheel lock is engaged.
4) If needed, the double clamp (2) can be loosened slightly and
positioned a littler farther from or closer to the tire to ensure good
contact with the tire while still being fairly easy to operate.
5) Tighten double clamp (2) and repeat this procedure for the
opposite side of the commode.
Note: The double clamps can be used on either side of the commode
but the wheel lock assemblies come in left hand and right hand
configurations. The wheel locks and the assembly procedure will
not work if the the right hand wheel lock is mounted on the left side
of the commode and vice versa.
