5.8 Standard Armrests
5.8.1 Armrests-removing and replacing (Standard
Seat).
The armrests on both sides of the wheelchair can be flipped
up to allow side transfer, (Fig. 5.17-18).
For side transfer flip the armrest all the way up until it goes
into its mechanical stop. This frees your space for side
transfer.
To bring the armrests back into their position flip it all the
way down until it sits on its mechanical stop. Guide it in its
downward movement and do not let it fall on its own.
5.8.2 Standard Seat Armrest Height Adjustment
The following section outlines armrest height adjustment. In
the case of either fine or gross adjustment, it is a
Two-part process:
PART I: Adjust the armrest height through rotation
PART 2: Adjust arm pad angle.
1.Basic fine adjustment.
PART 1
(fig. 5.19 & 5.20)
Up to 25 mm of armrest height adjustment can be achieved
using the 5.0 mm fine height adjustment screw to fine tune
the armrest’s height.
1. Loosen the 6.0 mm rotation bolts on both armrests (B).
2. Turn the adjustment screws (C) counter-clockwise to
raise the armrest or clockwise to lower.
3. Retighten both rotation bolts (B).
Use 20 N/m or 177 in/lb of torque.
PART 2
(fig. 5.21 & 5.22)
1. Loosen the 4.0 mm arm pad angle pivot bolts (A) on
both armrests. Tilt both arm pads down (or up in the
case of a lowered armrest) until the arm pads are in the
preferred angle. Check to see if the height is correct.
2. Retighten both arm pad angle pivot bolts (A).
Use 10 N/m or 88.5 in/lb of torque for both sets of bolts
WARNING!
Both sets of bolts should be checked periodically for
tightness. If loose the arm pad could slip down when
pressed.
