V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
O. Tilt Mechanism
WARNING: Keep fingers away from seat frame and out from under the chair when tilting.
Fingers can get caught in pinch points on the seat frame and under the chair during the tilt
process which can result in injury to yourself.
NOTE: A side guard at the lowest setting may interfere with the final few degrees of maximum
tilt.
1. Hand Operated (Dual Trigger) Tilt
a. Tilting Seat Frame
i. Squeeze triggers (Fig. 27:A).
ii. While keeping triggers depressed, raise or lower the rear of
the seat frame to desired position.
iii. Release triggers to lock into place.
b. Cable Adjustments
i. Unlock jam nut (Fig. 27:C) from cable adjuster body (Fig.
27:D) using a 10mm and 3/8" (10 mm) open ended wrench.
ii. Thread cable adjuster (Fig. 27:B) in or out until slack in
cable is eliminated such that the trigger has an 1/8" (8 mm)
of play before it begins to pull the cable.
iii. Verify function of the cable. Tilt mechanism should lock at
all locations.
iv. Once cable is adjusted, repeat on opposite side and verify that tilt is functioning prop-
erly. Relock the jam nut against the cable adjuster body (both cables) by tightening the
nut only, not the male adjuster or the adjuster body.
c. Locking Triggers
WARNING: Do not utilize the locking pin to maintain an unlocked tilt mode. This may lead to
serious injury or death.
i. To secure the triggers in the locked position:
a. Make sure the chair is locked by pushing on the back handles.
b. Insert the pin attached to the trigger by a lanyard into the hole on the trigger
mount. See Fig. 28.
c. Make sure the trigger no longer releases the tilt locks by gently squeezing the
trigger and pushing on the back canes to tilt the chair.
