NOTE: To determine 114
o
back angle relative to the seat
frame, place a magnetic protractor (available at any hard-
ware store) on the back as shown in FIGURE 3 and adjust
the back until the magnetic protractor reads 61
o
.
3. Turn the wheelchair power switch on the joystick to the
ON position.
NOTE: The wheelchair should not operate.
4. IF wheelchair operates, proceed to the following steps
to adjust the actuator on the upper limit switch bracket:
A. Fully recline the back. Refer to ADJUSTING
CAPTAIN'S SEAT in PROCEDURE 5 of the
Owner's Manual, part number 1095602.
NOTE: This will make access to the limit switch easier.
B. Loosen, but do not remove, the two (2) phillips
screws, washers and locknuts that secure the ac-
tuator to the upper limit switch bracket.
C. Slide the actuator UP (towards the top of the wheel-
chair).
CAUTION
DO NOT over tighten the phillips screws
that secure the actuator to the upper limit
switch bracket. Damage to the actuator
may occur.
D. Only tighten the two (2) phillips screws, washers
and locknuts that secure the actuator to the upper
limit switch bracket until the actuator does not move.
E. Repeat STEPS 1-3 until the wheelchair does not
operate when the captain's seat back is at a 24
o
angle.
This Procedure Includes the Following:
Adjusting Limit Switch
WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service

ADJUSTING LIMIT SWITCH
(FIGURE 1)
NOTE: The following procedure is for High Back Captain's
seat model wheelchairs only.
WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair while in
any recline position over 114
o
RELATIVE TO
THE SEAT FRAME. If the limit switch does not
stop the wheelchair from operating in a
recline position greater than 114
o
RELATIVE
TO THE SEAT FRAME, DO NOT operate the
wheelchair. Adjust the limit switch or have
the wheelchair serviced by a qualified
technician, otherwise injury or damage
may occur.
1. Place the wheelchair on a level surface.
2. Recline the captain's seat back to a 24
o
to achieve the
114
o
angle relative to the seat frame. Refer to ADJUST-
ING CAPTAIN'S SEAT in PROCEDURE 5 of the
Owner's Manual, part number 1095602.
NOTE: The captain's seat frame is at a 5
o
angle relative to
the ground. When the back angle is adjusted to 114
o
rela-
tive to the seat, it will measure 61
o
relative to the ground.
