V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
M. Rear Seat Height Adjustment
Rear seat height can be adjusted by repositioning the Tubular Component System (TCS).
1. Remove your wheels by depressing the buttons on the quick release axle.
2. Use a 4mm Allen wrench and 8mm open end wrench to remove the two bolts (A) holding
the upper and lower mounting brackets together (see Fig. 21). Reposition the mounting
brackets to the desired height and replace the two M5 bolts.
3. Repeat on both sides of the wheelchair.
NOTE: Height adjustments are in ¼ increments.
NOTE: A front caster adjustment should be made to correspond with any change in seat angle.

WARNING: Lowering the seat height at the rear of the seat .5" or 2 positions of .25" increments
will decrease the rearward stability by ½ degree. The more you move your rear wheels forward,
the more likely your chair will tip over backwards.
Always make adjustments in small increments and check the stability of your chair with a spotter
to prevent a tip-over. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and
are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
DANGER: Failure to heed these warnings may cause serious injury or death.
