3.3 Installing the Paddle Arm Assembly
1. Wrap Paddle Arm Assembly Cable under the Lock Pin Assembly Cable Guide (Fig. 3) and
mount under the seat of the wheelchair.
Your Safer Automatic Wheel Lock Kit is set up for installation at Adult Height. (See 2.2)
Refer to Lock Pin/Override Assembly Adjustment Guide for Hemi Height Settings. (pg. 11)
2. Using the three Mounting Screws (2.4-1) and Clamp (2.4-3), install the Paddle Arm Assembly to the
upper bar of the wheelchair frame between the rear seat H-block and the center cross brace.
Thread Screws through Clamp into the Paddle Arm Assembly, but DO NOT tighten the Clamp at this
point. (Fig. 10 & Fig. 11)
3. Move the Paddle Arm Assembly back and forth until Cable is at the correct tension. Correct cable
tension should have approximately 1" of slack in the cable. (Fig. 12)
4. Paddle Arm Assembly MUST be vertically level to get the proper cable tension and for the Locking
system to work properly. (Fig. 13)
5. After Paddle Arm Assembly is vertically level and the cable is at the proper tension, secure the
Paddle Arm Assembly by tightening the three Mounting Screws and the center Set Screw. (Fig.14/15)
