V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
S. Wheel Locks
3. Reversing Wheel Lock Mounting Plate
a. Remove wheel lock mounts according to steps 2:A and 2:B on previous page.
b. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen hex bolt (Fig. 41:A) and slide wheel lock mounting plate (Fig.
41:B) off of mounting block on base frame. Repeat for opposite side of chair.
c. Note lateral offset of wheel lock mounting plates. Choose mounting configuration of wheel
lock mounting plates that best suits the axle spacing of the chair. Standard or wide mount-
ing (Fig. 42) may be achieved by switching the wheel lock mounting plates to the opposite
side of the chair. For foot lock and/or dual post armrests, wide configuration should always
be used.
d. Once width configuration is chosen, slide wheel lock mounting plates back onto mount
blocks, indexing T-nuts back into slots of mounting plates. Do not tighten hex bolt yet.
e. Reattach wheel lock mounts in proper configuration according to steps 2:C and 2:E on pre-
vious page.
f. Adjust wheel lock mounting plate position and tighten hex nut when proper mount plate
location is achieved.
4. Adjusting Foot Pedal Angle (Attendant Foot Lock Only)
a. Using 10mm wrenches, remove hex bolt
(Fig. 43:A), nut (Fig. 43:B), plastic washer
(Fig. 43:C) and bushing (Fig. 43:D) from
wheel lock index plate (Fig. 43:E) and linkage
rod (Fig. 43:F) on both sides of chair.
b. Choose new hole according to preference to
mount hardware.
c. Retighten hardware, ensuring plastic washer
(Fig. 43:C) is installed between index plate
(Fig. 43:E) and linkage rod (Fig. 43:F). Note
that the head of the hex bolt is to be installed
toward the outside of the chair.
NOTE: Always loosen and tighten wheel hardware by alternating between the two bolts while
loosening/tightening a little at a time. This prevents overclamping on one set of hardware which
can lead to binding of the fasteners and increased difficulty in removal.
