b. Locate the tilt-stops to the desired limit either

K ANTI-TIP TUBES- FRONT

Anti-tip tubes are recommended for all wheelchairs.

ting-up anti-tip tubes.

1. Inserting Anti-Tip Tubes Into Receivers

a. Press the front anti-tip release pin (A) on the

anti-tip tube so that both release pins are
drawn inside.

c. Turn the anti-tip tube down until release pin is

through the receiver mounting hole.

L. TILT-IN-SPACE MECHANISM 

The tilt-in-space mechanism is installed by Sunrise.
Two cable/trigger mechanisms positively lock the chair
in place from -5º to 60º depending on the set-up. The
Quickie IRIS has the capability to provide from 0º to
5º of forward tilt. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS
ADJUSTMENT. This adjustment must be done by an
authorized supplier.

1. Tilt Operation

a. Depressing both triggers (C) at the same time

disengages the locking mechanism and allows
the seat and back to rotate in space. Releasing
the triggers positively locks the rockers in place.

b. The approximate degree of tilt the seat is at

can be seen on the tilt indicator (D).

c. To lock out the tilting function, insert the lock-

ing pin (E) into the trigger holder.
