IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
V. Tilt Mechanism
WARNING: Do not leave an occupied chair unattended with the triggers secured in an
unlocked position. Leaving someone in a chair unattended with the triggers secured in an
unlocked position could cause a tip-over resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Ensure hands are clear from moving components along the side of the chair
when tilting to avoid potential pinch points. Not avoiding potential pinch points may result
in injury.
How to Use the Hand Operated (Trigger) Tilt
1. Tilting the Seat Frame
a. Squeeze the trigger or triggers (Fig. 32:A).
b. While keeping the trigger(s) depressed, rotate the seat frame to the desired position.
c. Release the trigger(s) to lock into place.
2. Adjusting the Tilt Cable
a. Unlock the jam nut (Fig. 32:C) from the cable adjuster body (Fig. 32:D) using a 10mm and
3/8" open ended wrench.
b. Thread the cable adjuster (Fig. 32:B) in or out until the slack in the cable is eliminated, but
also so the cogs are still fully seated in the teeth of the rotary frames.
c. Verify the function of the cable. The tilt mechanism should lock at all locations and the
cogs should not drag along the teeth at any location. If the cogs drag or if there is exces-
sive play in the triggers, the cable adjuster must be unthreaded more. If the cog is disen-
gaged from the teeth at all, the adjuster must be threaded onto the body further.
d. Once the cable is adjusted and the function is verified, lock the jam nut against the cable
adjuster body by tightening the nut only, not the adjuster or the adjuster body.
