CHAPTER 5: ARMRESTS
Swing Away Armrest
To swing away the armrest, lift the armrest and rotate the armrest away from chair. See Figure 5-1. Make sure to lift
the armrest until the armrest pins are above the notch on the receiver. See Figure 5-1.
To replace the armrest, rotate the armrest back towards the chair and gently push it down into place. See Figure 5-1.
Make sure the armrest pins are in the notch on the receiver. See Figure 5-1.
Note: The swing away armrests pivot on nylon sleeves, located inside the receiver. If the armrest does not rotate
properly, remove the armrest, clean the armrest and inside the receiver thoroughly. If this does not solve the
problem, check the nylon sleeves for wear.

• Two 5/32” Allen Wrenches
1. Remove the armrest from the receiver.
2. Remove both armrest pins. See Figure 5-2.
3. Reassemble the armrest pins in the desired location on the
armrest (in 3/4” increments).
4. Securely tighten both armrest pins in the new location.

WARNING
The threads on the armrest pins are treated with Vibra-TITE
®
VC-3, a locking and sealing coating. You should be able to
adjust the height of the armrest pins approximately four times
without reapplying the coating. TiLite requires that you reapply
Vibra-TITE
®
VC-3 after every fourth adjustment. If you ignore
this Warning, your armrest pins could become loose or fall off
and you could fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and
seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
