PROCEDURE 7

TILT-IN-SPACE

ADJUSTING TRIGGER RELEASE CABLES (FIGURE 2)

NOTE: This procedure applies to tilt-in-space release cables ONLY.

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the trigger release cables while the cables are coiled up. The adjustment will be too tight when the cable is straightened and the tilt mecha- nism will not lock and hold its position, possibly causing injury.

1.To adjust the LEFT tilt mechanism:

Squeeze the trigger release lever of the RIGHT cable assembly and try to tilt the wheel- chair. The wheelchair should not tilt.

2.If the LEFT side of the wheelchair tilts without squeezing the trigger release lever of the LEFT cable assembly, perform the following steps:

A.Loosen the cable locking nut that secures the cable adjusting nut in place.

B.Turn cable adjusting nut one (1) of two (2) ways:

NOTE: If the cable is too loose, the tilt mechanism will not work.

WARNING

DO NOT over tighten the cable adjusting nut on the cable. Over tightening the cable adjusting nut on the cable WILL unlock the tilt mecha- nism, possibly causing injury.

•TO TIGHTEN - Turn the cable adjusting nut CLOCKWISE. DO NOT overtighten the cable adjusting nut. Refer to FIGURE 2.

•TO LOOSEN - Turn the cable adjusting nut COUNTER- CLOCKWISE. Refer to FIGURE 2.

C.While holding the cable adjusting nut in place, tighten the cable locking nut against the cable adjusting nut.

D.Repeat STEP 1.

E.Repeat STEP 2 until the LEFT side of the wheelchair DOES NOT tilt.

3.To adjust the RIGHT tilt mechanism:

A.Repeat STEPS 1 and 2 for the LEFT trigger release lever.
