ADJUSTING LIMIT SWITCH (FIGURE 3)

NOTE: The following section is for high back van seat model wheelchairs only.

WARNING

NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any recline position over 114° RELATIVE TO THE SEAT FRAME. If the limit switch does not stop the wheelchair from operating in a recline position greater than 114° RELATIVE TO THE SEAT FRAME, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. Adjust the limit switch BEFORE using the wheelchair, otherwise injury or damage can occur.

1.Place the wheelchair on a level surface.

2.Recline the van seat back to a 24o to achieve the 114o angle relative to the seat frame. Refer to ADJUSTING VAN SEAT in SECTION 6 of the Owner’s Manual, part number 1104782 or 1123757.

NOTE: The van seat frame is at a 5o angle relative to the ground. When the back angle is adjusted to 114o relative 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 hardware store) on the back as shown in FIGURE 2 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 VAN SEAT in SECTION 6 of the Owner’s Manual, part number 1104782 or 1123757.

NOTE: This will make access to the limit switch easier.
