2.Loosen the bolt on the side of each leg rest extension.

3.Slide the leg rest in or out to the desired length.

ANTI-TIP WHEELS

The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your Jet 2 increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory to a height of 1/2 in. off the ground. This setting is for smooth surfaces or for indoor use only. If you plan on using your Jet 2 on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs.

The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the fol- lowing occur:

νWhen coming to a stop, your Jet 2 tips forward excessively.

νThe anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.

Required Tool: 13 mm wrench

NOTE: Each drive tire must have at least 30 lbs. of air pressure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly ad- justed.

WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride pro- vider before attempting to change the anti-tip wheel height! Changing the anti-tip wheel height affects handling under deceleration.

To adjust the anti-tip wheels:

1.Remove the seat and body shroud.

2.Adjust the 13 mm anti-tip adjustment nut so that the anti-tip wheel is 1/2 to 1 inch off the ground. Turn the nut clockwise to raise the anti-tip wheel and counter- clockwise to lower the anti-tip wheel. See figure 21.

WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more you increase your power chair’s tendency to tilt forward when coming to a stop. You can compensate for this by hav- ing your authorized Pride provider make a small adjustment to the pre-programmed de- celeration setting in the controller or by mov- ing the seat assembly further to the rear of your power chair.
