1.
Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the four hex screws and locknuts securing the seat frame mounting bracket to the
interface mounting bracket.
2.
Perform one of the following to ensure the Formula CG seating system is in the proper mounting position:
NOTE: Some front rigging and seat depth combinations may not allow for the 1-inch gap. In this situation, slide the seat frame mounting
brackets as far back as possible.
•
Wheelchairs with Swing Away Front Rigging - Slide the seat frame mounting brackets as far as possible towards the
rear of the wheelchair (FIGURE 8.4). Leave 1 to 1½-inch of clearance between the front riggings and the front casters
in all caster positions (Detail “A” of FIGURE 8.3).
•
Wheelchairs with Manual or Power Center Mount Front Rigging - Slide the seat frame mounting brackets as far as
possible towards the rear of the wheelchair (FIGURE 10). Leave 1 to 1½-inch of clearance between the center mount
front riggings and the front shroud (Detail “B” of FIGURE 9).
3.
Ensure the interface mounting brackets and the seat frame mounting brackets are flush and square.
4.
Secure the seat frame mounting brackets to the interface mounting plates. Torque the four hex bolts and locknuts to 13
ft-lbs ± 20%.
5.
Cycle the tilt and/or recline functions to verify wiring harnesses DO NOT obstruct the path of the system. If they do,
perform one of the following:
•
Wires were damaged during inspection - Replace damaged wires.
•
Wires were not damaged during inspection - Cut tie-wraps and relocate wires to a location where they will not
become damaged.
