Unwin EasiSit, User Instructions

D. POSITIONING RAIL MOUNTED EASISIT
1. Place the EasiSit facing forwards on the rails in the desired position with the handled
plunger extended up and the anti-rattle cam in its lowered position (rotated fully anti-
clockwise) [1]. Use the wheels & curved ends of the rail fitting to aid positioning and
insertion into the rail.
2. Once located in the rail, rotate both plungers to coincide with the vertical slots in the anti-
rattle cam, and slide EasiSit along the rail until both plungers drop and lock in. Rotate both
plunger housing assemblies clockwise until resistance is felt [2]. EasiSit is now securely
located and rattle free, ready for use.
3. Release EasiSit from the rail by reversing the above sequence. Remember to use the curved
rail fitting ends to locate the exact exit area of fitting to rail. Once aligned, carefully tilt
EasiSit back onto its wheels and wheel away.

E. POSITIONING A BOLTED EASISIT
For a permanent installation, EasiSit may be bolted directly into a vehicle or into Unwin rail.
1. Carefully choose a suitable wheelchair space within the vehicle for EasiSit. Note the six
fixing positions through the leg feet. Ensure that there are no obstructions directly beneath
the fixing positions such as petrol tanks, brake lines or anything that may be damaged when
drilling and bolting through the floor. If necessary, relocate the EasiSit to avoid potential
problems.
2. When satisfied that the EasiSit is correctly positioned, mark the fixing positions and drill
through the floor using an 11 mm drill bit. A simple card template can be made up if
required as an aid to marking and drilling the fixing positions.
3. Underfloor support is required at all bolted positions. It is recommended that a plate
75mmx75mmx4mm (or equivalent) is used for each bolt location.
4. Install EasiSit and securely tighten all fixings.
5. Apply a proprietary under body sealant/paint to protect any drilled areas beneath the floor
to preserve the vehicle’s corrosion resistance.
Please note: Fixings are not supplied as different installations will require different lengths of
bolt, under floor spreader plates and/or strengthening for optimum fitment. Regardless of
length, we recommend that no fewer than six bolts are used at a minimum grade of 10.9 along
with nylock or similar shake-proof nuts.
