Your TiLite wheelchair is a precision-engineered product. To ensure your chair continues to operate at peak
performance, you will need to make minor adjustments from time to time — especially if you alter the original factory
settings. The chart below provides advice on solving some of the more common “adjustment” issues you may
experience. If the solutions below do not solve your problem or if you experience a problem not addressed below,
please contact an authorized TiLite supplier or TiLite Customer Service. Please note, if more than one solution in the
chart below applies to your particular adjustment issue, always try one solution at a time until the problem is solved.
