ADJUSTING LIMIT SWITCH (FIGURE 13)
NOTE: The following procedure is for High Back Captain's seat model wheelchairs only.
WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any re- cline position over 114o RELATIVE TO THE SEAT FRAME. If the limit switch does not stop the wheel- chair from operating in a recline position greater than 114o RELATIVE TO THE SEAT FRAME, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. Adjust the limit switch or have the wheelchair serviced by a dealer or qualified technician, otherwise injury or damage may occur.
1.Place the wheelchair on a level surface.
2.Recline the captain's seat back to a 24o to achieve the 114o angle relative to the seat frame. Refer to AD- JUSTING CAPTAIN'S SEAT in PROCEDURE 9 of the owner's manual, part number 1080737.
NOTE: The captain's seat frame is at a 5o angle relative to the ground. When the back angle is adjusted to 114o rela- tive to the seat, it will measure 61o relative to the ground.
NOTE: To determine 114o back angle relative to the seat frame, place a magnetic protractor (available at any hard- ware store) on the back as shown in FIGURE 13 and adjust the back until the magnetic protractor reads 61o.
3.Turn the wheelchair power switch on the joystick to the ON position.
NOTE: The wheelchair should not operate.
4.IF wheelchair operates, proceed to the following steps to adjust the actuator on the upper limit switch bracket:
A.Fully recline the back. Refer to ADJUSTING CAPTAIN'S SEAT in PROCEDURE 9 of the owner's manual, part number 1080737.
NOTE: This will make access to limit switch easier.
B.Loosen, but do not remove, the two (2) phillips screws, washers and locknuts that secure the actuator to the upper limit switch bracket.
C.Slide actuator UP (towards top of the wheelchair).
CAUTION
DO NOT over tighten the phillips screws that secure the actuator to the upper limit switch bracket. Damage to the actuator may occur.
D.Only tighten the two (2) phillips screws, washers and locknuts that secure the actuator to the up- per limit switch bracket until the actuator does not move.
