Adjust Seat Tilt Force
WARNING: DO NOT adjust the seat tilt force, nor remove nor adjust any of the retaining
pins, while the wheelchair is occupied.
WARNING: The Seat Tilt Piston is under high pressure. DO NOT twist or bend the piston in
any way. DO NOT place hands where they could be pinned or pinched by the piston moving
unexpectedly, or the seat tilting unexpectedly.
1. Ensure the wheelchair is unoccupied and in a fully upright position.
2. Squeeze the tilt handle on the right arm and press down on the push handles until the seat
is tilted at least ten degrees. This will make it easier to remove the retaining pin and will also
make it easier to line up the seat tilt piston with the adjustment bracket holes.
3. Place a soft material like a towel on the floor to protect the wheelchair, and place the
wheelchair on its side with the tilt handle facing upward.

11.
Test the wheelchair’s tilt function before occupying the seat.
Do this by locking the wheel
locks, squeezing the tilt handle, and pushing down on the push handles. The seat should
remain at the same angle when the tilt handle is released.

upright position before using.
