V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
N. Tilt Mechanism
1. Hand Operated (Trigger) Tilt
a. Tilting Seat Frame
i. Squeeze trigger (Fig. 26:A).
ii. While keeping triggers depressed, rotate seat frame to
desired position.
iii. Release trigger to lock into place.
b. Cable Adjustment
i. Unlock jam nut (Fig. 26:B) from cable adjuster body (Fig. 26:C)
using a 10mm and 3/8" open ended wrench.
ii. Thread cable adjuster (Fig. 26:D) in or out until slack in cable
is eliminated but also such that the cogs are still fully seated in
the teeth of the rotary frames.
iii. Verify function of the cable. Tilt mechanism should lock at all
locations and cogs should not drag along the teeth at any location. If the cogs drag or if
there is excessive play in the triggers, the male adjuster must be unthreaded more. If the
cog is disengaged at all from the teeth, the adjuster must be threaded into the body fur-
ther.
iv. Once cable is adjusted and function is verified, re-lock the jam nut against the cable
adjuster body by tightening the nut only, not the male adjuster or the adjuster body.

a. Determine which style back canes and trigger

b. Make sure the chair is locked by pushing on
the back handles.
c. Insert the pin attached to the trigger by a lanyard into hole
number 1.
d. Make sure the trigger no longer releases the tilt locks by gen-
tly squeezing the trigger and pushing on the back canes to tilt
the chair.
ii. To secure the triggers in the unlocked position:
a. Determine which style back canes and trigger were provided
with the chair by checking against Fig. 27 and 28.
b. Squeeze the triggers to unlock the tilt mechanism while hold-
ing the back canes and controlling the tilt position.
c. Allow the seat frame to tilt until it comes to rest in a stable position.
