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 both safety locks are in the LOCKED ( ) position. To test the locks, use the handle to pull up on the AGILITY. IMPORTANT! DO NOT use the
handle to pull the wheelchair while the individual is seated in the wheelchair. The handle is intended only to assist with installing and removing the AGILITY.
» Make sure both latches are fully closed. If the latches will not close, or if the hooks will not rest completely on the pins, see "Troubleshooting".
» Make sure that all hardware is securely tightened. Refer to the recommended torque specifications.
Note: Before you adjust the height of an AGILITY, install the AGILITY on the wheelchair. See "AGILITY Installation".
1. Use the box end wrench to loosen 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.
Warning: DO NOT remove the width/height
adjustment nuts.

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).
