V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
O. Seat Frame Set Up
1. Setting Seat Depth
a. Using a 5mm Allen wrench and a 13mm wrench, remove depth adjustment screws from
seat pan, or remove seat seat pan (See Section W).
b. Using a 4mm Allen wrench and a 10mm wrench, remove button head screw (Fig. 32:A) with
nut and washer from front seat frame (Fig. 32:B) on each side of chair.
c. Slide rear seat frame in or out as desired to set the seat depth.
d. Replace button head screws in new location, placing screws in rearmost hole in front seat
frame.
2. CG (Center of Gravity) Optimization
a. Place occupant in chair, with all equipment that attaches to upper frame, such as foot
boxes, backpacks, etc.
b. Lock wheel locks (if equipped).
c. Squeeze triggers (if hand operated tilt) or depress foot pedal (if foot operated tilt). Lock trig-
gers in this position using locking pins (See Section N. Step 1 -C.), or if foot operated tilt,
use a zip tie or other means of holding foot pedal down.
d. Allow rotary frame to find its resting place. A slight rocking motion applied to the push han-
dles can be used to determine where the center of the resting place lies.
e. Observe the tilt angle by viewing the angular scale on the side of the rotary frame. The angle
is indicated by the rear edge of the bearing plate (Fig. 32:C). Resting angle for optimum per-
formance is 17-23°. If frame rests outside of this range, remove the seat frame position
locking screws (Fig. 32:D) using a 5mm Allen wrench.
f. If resting angle is larger than 23°, pull seat frame toward the front of the chair until approxi-
mate 20° resting angle is achieved. If frame rests at an angle smaller than 17°, push seat
frame toward the rear until approximately 20° is achieved.
g. Different occupants will respond differently, but a good starting point is to move the seat
frame ½" for every 5° that the angle is off from 20°.
h. Once optimum position is achieved, reinstall and tighten positioning screws in holes closest
to optimum position. Screws may be placed in front or rear hole of seat frame saddle (Fig.
32:E).
