To adjust the mounting pins:
i) With the back secured in place on the wheelchair, determine the
amount of adjustment required for each mounting pin (see
Figure 7
)
.
ii) Remove the backrest from the wheelchair and use the wrench
provided to loosen each flange nut.
(If necessary, replace the standard
mounting pins with long mounting pins).
iii) Adjust the mounting pin depth (clockwise to shorten/counter-clock
wise to lengthen) so that a minimum gap of 1/8" (3
mm
) exists between the
top of the pin and the mounting plate. Re-tighten each flange nut to secure
the pins in place.
(ensure pins do not rotate when tightening the flange nuts)
WARNING!
Improper pin set-up may cause damage to the back pan
and/or the mounting plates. Ensure sufficient spacing is provided between the
mounting plates and the mounting pins
(a minimum gap of 1/8" (3mm) is
recommended
).
WARNING!
NEVER use loctitie on mounting hardware; Adjacent plastic
components may degrade and become brittle (break) if contaminated.
