– Illustration 2-16
1) Take off the bolt, nut, washer, and gasket.
2) Align the appropriate adjustable hole with the fixed hole. *Do not use the highest adjustable hole.
3) Affix and tighten using bolt, nut, washer and gasket to the armrest pipe. *Have the gasket put in the
adjustable bracket hole.
4) On the other side of the wheelchair do the same adjustment.
Parts Inspection and Method of Changing Parts:
Check to make sure there is nothing unstable or any loose
bolts. Both the rubber ring and collar are items that wear out. So, these should be changed regularly. If there is
an increase in the armrest shaking or the armrest is frequently raised; if this leads to armrest weakening then
consult your dealer.
WARNING
When tightening the bolts go according to the sequence given in the illustration. *When the
armrest is not properly affixed there is a risk of causing an accident.
First, put the gasket in the large adjustable hole and tighten the bolt. *When the armrest pipe is
not affixed properly, then there is a risk of causing an accident. *The spacer lying between the
bolt and the armrest pipe should be tight.
ATTENTION
Do not use the upper most adjustable hole for risk of damaging the armrest pipe.
