Fasten the bracket system assembly to the adapter (already installed on the wheelchair seat
frame) with the required torque.
Please note that the bracket system requires screws of two different lengths to allow adequate
fastening to the tubular adapter. The middle screw should be about 15 to 20 mm longer than
both extremities screws, as shown in the preceding figure.
Mechanical Integration Assembly Validation
The following validation should be made to the mechanical integration assembly before
installing the JACO arm:
Verify there is no lose in the mechanical integration assembly by shaking it in all
direction. If a loose is noticed, please verify the torque applied to all screws and screw
length.
You may now install the JACO arm on the main base.
Verify the JACO arm may be easily installed and uninstalled by a caregiver.
Assure that there is a sufficient clearance between the JACO fixe base and any part of
the wheelchair to allow easy access to every connectors, buttons and screws located on
the JACO fixed base.
Once the JACO arm is installed, you should verify the hand may touch the ground on an
appropriate surface and in an appropriate area for easy object pick up by the user.
Before finalizing the installation, the following points should be checked with the user to assure
that the mechanical integration respects his/her daily activities:
The user may enter his/her adapted transport, secure the wheelchair in place and close
all doors without interfering with JACO;
The user may slide his/her wheelchair under the tables (only applicable if the user still
needs to slide the wheelchair under the tables);
The user may move the wheelchair around his/her home and pass through every
doorway.
The retracted position does not interfere with either the wheelchair or the bracket
system.
The configuration respects the installation system and the user may close together only
2 fingers.
