XXL-Rehab Manuel wheelchair – The Eclipse Tilt
16
UNPACKING
1. Check for any obvious damage to the carton or its contents. If damage is
evident, notify your dealer/Carrier immediately.
2. Remove all loose packing from the carton.
3. Carefully remove all components from the carton.
NOTE
— Unless the XXL-Rehab Eclipse Tilt is to be assembled immedi-
ately, retain cartons and packing materials for use in storing the wheelchair
until assembly is required.
ASSEMBLY
When unpacking XXL-Rehab Eclipse Tilt, you will need to assemble the arm-
rests, backrest, front rigging (if applicable), connect the cable from the strut
to the tilt activator (trigger) and anti-tip tubes to complete the set-up.
Backrest
The seat frame has two bolts installed along the left and right side of the
rear of the seat frame. Remove these bolts on each side and place the
backrest subassembly into the back of the seat frame and replace bolts and
fasten securely. To attach tilt actuator cable to the back post (trigger) follow
instructions shown on page 18.
Front Rigging
Installing the front rigging depends on the type of front rigging included
with chair. For plug-in front rigging, push in the button on the side of the
upper tube and slide into the frame until the button aligns with the hole on
the frame and snaps into place. For the “swing-away” style front rigging,
mount the front rigging on top of the already mounted adaptor and lock
into place.
Arm Assembly
Install the arm assembly’s by simply sliding the arms into the slotted arm
receivers on the frame.
Anti-Tip Tubes
If anti-tip tubes are not already installed on the chair, locate them in the
box and slide them into the receivers at the back underside of the frame so
that the rollers are pointing downwards. These will prevent the chair from
overturning if the centre of gravity moves too far rearward and are manda-
tory for safety and warranty protection.
IMPORTANT
— With the user sitting in the chair, check to ensure the
wheelchair is stable in all tilted/untilted positions before dispensing the
wheelchair.

WARNING
— After making adjustments, always make sure that parts
are properly tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair.
Swing-Away Footrest Assembly Installation
1. To mount swing-away style front rigging, slide front rigging on already
existing “swing-away adaptors”. The front rigging should ‘click’ and lock
into place.
2. To release and swing away, push button on front rigging and push front
rigging aside.
Footrest Height Adjustment
Height adjustment is made to the desired length with individual sitting in
wheelchair with feet on footrests. The lowest point of the footrests should
be no less than 2” from the ground or floor.
1. Remove the nut, bolt and coved washers and position the footrest as-
sembly to a determined height.
2. Line up mounting hole and the aluminum insert in the footrest tube,
reinsert the bolt and securely tighten by hand. Be sure to replace coved
washers as well.
3. Repeat the procedure for the other footrest.
NOTE
— Check to ensure that desired front rigging adjustment does not
cause pressure to legs at front of seat upholstery. Such a condition could
cause injury to the occupant.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAND ON FOOTRESTS. Standing on the footrests will
cause the chair to tilt forward abruptly and may result in an injurious fall to
the individual.
DO NOT ATTEMPT

designed to separate from the wheelchair.
FRONT RIGGING SHOULD BE REMOVED
