Height Adjustment
Warnings:
- If performed correctly and with caution, height adjustments may
be made while the individual is in the wheelchair. If you find height
adjustments too difficult or unsafe to make while the individual
is in the wheelchair, have the individual transfer safely out of the
wheelchair.
- If you choose to adjust the height of an AGILITY while the individual
is seated in the wheelchair, you must first take the following safety
precautions:
» Make sure the wheelchair wheels are locked.
» Make sure that all hardware is securely tightened. Refer to the
recommended torque specifications.
Note: Before you adjust the height of the AGILITY, install the AGILITY
on the wheelchair. See "AGILITY Installation".
1. On both sides: Use the box end wrench to
loosen the width/height adjustment nuts:
Warning: DO NOT remove the width/
height adjustment nuts.
From a tight position, loosen the nuts just until
the back shell slides up and down -- less than
the equivalent of two (2) full rotations.

ROHO AGILITY Fixed Hardware Operation Manual
Warning: If an AGILITY is not positioned to make contact with the
Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS), pelvic support and trunk control
may be reduced.
Make sure that the AGILITY is positioned so that the bottom portion
makes contact with the PSIS.
2. Slide the back shell up or down in the
vertical slots to the desired height.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the
back shell hardware is the same height on
both sides:
To make sure that the left (L) and right
(R) back shell hardware are at the same
height, count the squares that you can
see when you look through the left and
right vertical slots in the back shell.
(The squares are part of the sliding height
adjustment bar. See "Parts Detail".)

Warning: Once adjustment is complete,
make sure all hardware is securely tightened.
Refer to torque specifications.
3. While you hold the back shell in position,
use the box end wrench to tighten the width/
height nuts on the width/height adjustments
bolts until snug + one- quarter turn.
Note: If a torque wrench is available, tighten
the bolts to 42 ± 2 inch-pounds (4.75 ± 0.25
Newton- meters).
