GILL 2 Initial Installation

—Invacare ACTION  Wheelchair Range 

 

The  Gill  2  Seating  System  may  be  supplied  as  a  complete  package,  already 
interfaced  with  its  Invacare  Action  wheelchair,  or  as  an  individual  Seat  Unit,  for 
installation by a Wheelchair Service to their own stock Action wheelchair. 

NOTE:  The  instructions  detailed  on  these  two  pages,  cover  installation 
where  the  Seat  Unit  has  been  supplied  as  an  individual  Unit  and  may  vary 
according to which Action model the Seat Unit is to be interfaced with. 

Where  the  Gill  2  is  supplied  as  an  individual  Seat  Unit,  for  installation  via  a 
Wheelchair  Service,  onto  their  own  stock  surrogate  Action  wheelchair,  the  Seat 
Unit  will  be  fitted  with  all  the  necessary  interfacing  Brackets  and  Straps  to  suit  a 
specific  size  of  wheelchair.  However,  it  will  be  necessary  to  adjust  various 
components  to  suit  individual  requirements  and  to  finally  ensure  that  all 
components are correctly secured. 
1.  Initially  it  will  be  necessary  to  remove  the 

Backrest  and  Seat  canvasses  from  the 
surrogate  wheelchair.  This  is  done  by 
disconnecting  and  removing  the  Backrest 
Tubes  from  the  wheelchair  and  sliding  the 
Canvas downwards off the Tubes. Refit and 
secure both Backrest Tubes. 

2.  The  Seat  Canvas  can  be  removed  by 

carefully prizing out the black blanking plugs 
from  each  end  of  the  Seat  Rails  and  save 
for re-use. Remove the locking grub screws 
(4)  located  on  the  underside  of  the  Seat 
Rails at each end and discard. 

     It should now be possible to slide the Seat     
     Canvas forwards and clear of the Seat Rails   
     and re-install the Seat Rail blanking plugs. 
3.  Loosely install two Seat Locating Clamps    
     (supplied), onto the each Seat Rail, Fig.1.    
     Initially the rear clamps placed towards the  
     Wheelchair cross braces and the front  
     clamps placed towards the front of the Seat      
     Rails. 
4. With the wheelchair partially folded as Fig.1, 

lower the Gill 2 onto the Seat Rails, Fig.2, 

     ensuring  that  all  four  Seat  Hook  Brackets 

are  located  over  the  outside  of  the  Seat 
Rails.  

5.  Open  the  wheelchair  fully  outwards  by 

pushing  downwards  on  the  Seat  Unit  until 
the  Hook  Brackets  fully  engage  over  the 
curvature    of  the  Seat  Rails  and  the  Rails 
are located into their Saddles.       [Cont]
