Note: The Shadow ST/DT is shipped fully assem- bled except for the following items which may need to be attached or adjusted before final adjust- ments are made. Setting the chair on a flat surface (such as a workbench or table) helps make these procedures easier.

Note on Torque Setting: Use a torque setting of

100 in./lbs. when assembling wheel locks.

Low-Mount Scissor Wheel Locks:

The wheel lock mounts on a split-clamp system. Loosen the bolts on the two inside clamps. Position wheel lock on frame tube and tighten bolts.

!

Using wheel locks for braking is dangerous. Use wheel locks for parking ONLY. When properly adjusted, wheel locks prevent the rear wheels from turning when the chair is parked. Always adjust the wheel locks after making any changes to the rear cam- ber tube position. Wheel locks should be embedded into the tires to prevent wheel movement (when in the locked position).

C. ARMRESTS (Optional)

To install armrest, slide the outer armpost into the receiver that is mounted to the wheelchair frame. The armrest will auto- matically lock into place.

Note: Armrests can be mounted facing forward or

backward.

Armrests are detachable. Lifting the wheelchair by them may cause damage to the chair or injury to the rider. NEVER lift the wheelchair by the armrests.

D. ANTI-TIP TUBES (Optional)

Insert anti-tip tube into anti-tip tube receiv- er and placing locking pin through holes.

Note: Use a torque setting of 100 in./lbs. when

assembling wheel locks.

CAUTION:To allow the anti-tip tubes to function properly there must be a 1 1/2” to 2” clearance from the anti-tip wheel to the ground.

Failure to adjust anti-tip tubes correctly can result in injury to rider. Anti-tip tubes are available from your local authorized Quickie supplier. Quickie Designs recom- mends anti-tip tubes for wheelchairs.

Note on Torque Setting: Unless otherwise

noted, use a torque setting of 60 in./lbs. when
