Removing Armrests (Single Post Arms)
Release the arm assembly by lifting up on the black release lever of the arm
receiver (mounted to the seat frame) while pulling the armrest up.
Armrest Pads
Check for rips or breaks. If these are present, replace immediately to main-
tain appearance and comfort. Armrest pad should sit flush against frame. If
the pad is cracked or retaining screws are stripped, replace pad immediately.
SEAT AND BACK
This Procedure includes the following:
- Adjusting the Back Angle.
- Adjusting the Seat Depth.
WARNING
— After making adjustments, always make sure that parts
are properly tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair.
Adjusting the Back Angle
The seat-to-back angle may be set at a range of 90°–122°. Only 2 bolts need
to be removed in order to change the angle.
1. To set the seat-to-back angle at 90°-122°, first loosen and remove the
angle adjustment bolt shown. Note: there are two bolts; one on each side
of the chair.
2. Adjust the bracket to the desired angle and re-install the bolts.
3. Retighten the nuts.
NOTE
— The locknuts should be re-used no more than five (5) times to
ensure locking material grips. If locknuts are worn, please replace.
REAR WHEELS
This Procedure includes the following:
- Removing/Installing the Rear Wheels
- Adjusting the Axle Location / Wheel Position Adjustment
Removing/Installing the Rear Wheels/Axles
1. Unless the product was ordered with quick-release axles, the rear wheels
can be removed using a ¾” socket head and a ¾” crescent wrench. If
the chair is configured using axle bolts (not quick-release), the axle bolt
heads must be located on the inside of the frame with the nuts located
on the outside of the rear wheel hubs. If axle bolts are installed back-
wards, the seat frame may hit the end of the axle bolts when attempting
to tilt the chair. During assembly, tighten the axle bolts so that the rear
wheels are snug but not so much that the wheels are unable to spin
freely.
If quick-release axles have been supplied, push in the tip of the quick-
release axle and pull the wheel off of the axle.
2. To reinstall the rear wheel onto the wheelchair, reverse step 1.
WARNING.
Make sure the detent pin and locking pins of the quick-
release axle are fully released BEFORE operating the wheelchair. The locking
pins MUST be protruding past the outside of the rear wheel axle receiver for
a positive lock. Keep locking pins clean.
Adjusting the Rear Axle position
The rear wheel position may be adjusted forward or rearward.
1. There are six bolts on each of the axle plates which hold the axle plates
tight onto the lower frame. To change the position of the rear wheels,
loosen these bolts slightly, and slide the rear axles forward or rearward
as desired. Before re-tightening, be sure both rear axles are in the same
location as measured from the rear of the lower frame members. There
are measuring indicators on the bottom of the lower frame members.
2. The antitip tubes slide into receivers at the back of the frame so that the
rollers prevent the chair from overturning if the centre of gravity moves
too far rearward.
IMPORTANT — With the user sitting in the chair, check to ensure the
wheelchair is stable in all tilted/untilted positions before dispensing the
wheelchair.
Setup of 16” / 22” / 24” Rear Wheel Anti-tippers
Axle positions are noted by the location of the rear edge of the axle plate on
the ruled sticker on the frame.
The hole position on the anti-tip tube is shown.
The extra positions on the anti-tipper (1 through 3) can be used to make
the chair more stable, but it will reduce the caster clearance when tilted
backwards.
