Out of the Box Assembly Instructions
When unpacking the wheelchair, you will need to assemble the armrests, backrest, and,
front rigging (if applicable), connect the cable from the strut to the tilt activator (trigger)
and anti-tip tubes to complete the set-up.
Backrest
The seat frame has two bolts installed along the left and right side of the rear of the seat
frame. Remove these bolts on each side and place the backrest subassembly into the
back of the seat frame and replace bolts and fasten securely, see section 14.3. To attach
tilt actuator cable to the back post (trigger) follow instructions in section 14.14.2
Front Rigging
Installing the front rigging depends on the type of front rigging included with chair – For
the Easy-Out front rigging, squeeze the front rigging trigger and slide the front rigging
into the square cross-sections on the side of the upper frame until the latch aligns and
engages with the upper frame hole and snaps into place. For the standard plug-in front
rigging, push in the button on the side of the upper tube and slide into the frame until
snap button engages. For the “swing-away” style front rigging attach the front rigging on
top of the pre-installed mounted adaptor and rotate to lock into place.
Armrest Assembly
Install the arm assembly by simply sliding the arms into the armrest receivers on the
upper frame.
Cable
To install the cable, ensure the lower end of the cable housing is placed in the holes in
the junction block and then install the other end of the cable to the trigger, as usual.
Once the cable is assembled into the trigger, the assembly will be under slight tension,
and the cable housing will stay inserted in the block. Refer to section 14.14 to detailed
instructions.
