XXL-Rehab Manuel wheelchair – The Eclipse Tilt
18
FRONT CASTERS
This Procedure Includes the Following:
- Installing/Replacing Front Casters
Warning
— After making Adjustments, always make sure that parts are
properly tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair.
1. Remove bolt from front of caster housing.
2. Slide out caster.
3. Reassemble by reversing steps 1-2.
4. Test the wheelchair for maneuverability.
SEAT-TO-FLOOR HEIGHT
This Procedure includes the following:
- Adjusting Seat to Floor Height.
Warning
— After making Adjustments, always make sure that parts are
properly replaced and tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair.
The seat-to-floor height on the XXL-Rehab Eclipse Tilt can be adjusted from
16” to 18”.
1. Remove the pivot bolts that attach the upper seat frame to the lower
base frame, these are two socket head bolts located on the outside of the
seat pan assembly (one screw on each side).
2. Reposition the Seat Frame to the desired elevation. There are three eleva-
tion choices.
3. Remove the socket head bolt located on the Base Frame, which connects
the lower end of the gas strut assembly to the Base Frame.
4. Reposition the lower end of the Gas Strut Assembly (Strut-A, B or C) to
correspond to the selected seat elevation (SH-A, B or C) as shown.
5. Test the wheelchair to ensure the seat pan can be positioned approxi-
mately level when the gas strut is fully extended. Check to ensure all
screws and nuts are assembled securely.
ADJUSTABLE SEAT TILT
This Procedure includes the following:
- Adjusting seat tilt.
Warning
— After making Adjustments, always make sure that parts are
properly tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair.
1. To adjust the tilt angle, activate the tilting lever located on side of push
handle or on the armrest, depending on how the wheelchair has been
configured. Allow seat back to lower to desired level and release tilt lever.
Seat should ‘lock’ at desired tilt angle.
2. Note that the tilt lever may be mounted onto the left or right side of the
backrest push bar or on the left or right armrest.
Warning
— When tilting chair, attendant must hold push handle
securely so that seat does not drop too quickly.
ADJUSTABLE GAS STRUT AND CABLE ASSEMBLY
Adjusting Cable Tension
Once receiving and assembling the chair, you may find that the chair tilts
with user in it when the trigger is not actuated or chair will not tilt when
trigger is actuated. This problem may also occur over time as the cable wire
‘stretches’.
A simple procedure is needed to adjust the tension of the cable wire:
IMPORTANT
— Before adjusting - be sure the steel ball (at bottom end
of cable wire) is inserted into actuating lever slot and cable is properly at-
tached to trigger.
1. If the chair does not tilt when trigger is actuated – the cable wire is too
loose and needs to be tightened. To do so, remove the rubber sleeve
above the gas strut housing on the cable and turn the ‘tightening nut’ so
less thread is showing above the nut.
2. If the chair tilts without actuation – the cable tension is too tight and
needs loosening. Reverse the procedure from above, making more thread
showing above the ‘tightening nut’.
