6. Assembly and adjustment
Upon receipt, check that the cardboard box
contains
-
One Eclipse Tilt frame with two rear wheels
and two front castors
-
Two anti-tip tubes
-
One pair of armrests
-
One Eclipse Tilt Wheelchair backrest with
built-in push bar with tilt lever.
If cushion, footrests, headrest, or Transit Tie-
Down System have been purchased, this can also
be found in the cardboard box.
No tools for mounting are included.
6.1 Back rest
The seat frame has two bolts mounted along the
left and right sides of the back of the seat frame.
Remove the screws on each side and insert the
entire backrest into the back of the seat frame.
Then refit the bolts and tighten them completely.
The wheelchair back has a built-in push handle, on
which tilt levers are mounted.
The tilt function works when the steel ball (at the
end of the cable) is in the slot on the tilt
handle
and the cable is securely attached to the release.
Adjustment of the back frame
Adjust the seat depth and back angle to suit the
desired angle of the seat. The removable backrest
holders are fastened with four bolts, which are
mounted in the pre-drilled hole patterns. Make
sure the bolts are the same on both sides.
Cobi Rehab or other professionals can adjust the
height of the back frame by shortening the pipes
to the desired length with a scraper or pipe
cutter.
Adjustment of upholstery
The straps on the back of the back padding can
be adjusted by either loosening or tightening
them.
Start by loosening the straps, after which the user
is placed in the wheelchair, so the upper part of
the padding supports the upper part of the user's
back. Then tighten the straps.
Upholstery placement
Check regularly that the upholstery and / or the
inner lining are not damaged or weakened.
Replace damaged padding or loose lining
immediately.
The fire-retardant effect of the upholstery is
reduced if it is machine-washed or have been
damp.
The anti-tip holders are bolted to the frame. The
anti-tip tubes have two length adjustment
options.
Do not operate the Eclipse Tilt Wheelchair
without anti-tippers installed. Anti-tippers are
mandatory for safety and warranty protection.
To install the anti-tip tubes
1. Press and hold the release button on the anti-tip
tube.
2. Insert the anti-tip tube into the receiver until it
locks into position.
