Fitting to the chair.
Introduction
Connecting the chair to the Device is important
–
only clamp the Device to the front tubes of the chair and not to any
removable or swing-away parts. It is important to clamp the Device evenly to the chair. Please take time to ensure the
best fit.
Fitting occurs in two stages, with six possible adjustments for each side. The first stage is to adjust all settings to an
approximate fit. The second stage is after the Clamp Jaws are closed, when final micro-adjustment of angles, widths,
height, and depth can be made before tightening all bolts and nuts. See Figure 18.
Procedure
Setting height of the device in relation to the Wheelchair
•
The height relationship between Device and Wheelchair can be adjusted by loosening the Height
Adjustment Bolt on the side of the Clamp Mechanism Receiver. Measure both sides to ensure equal
height settings.
•
When docked, the Clamp Jaws should be in the middle section of the front chair tubes or where there is
a section of straight tube slightly greater than that of the clamping area of the Clamp Jaws.
Figure 18. Different positions for Height Adjustment.
Attention!
The recommended Torque setting of Bolt C is 35 Nm (Newton Meters).
Setting the Clamp Jaws
Clamp Jaws need to be set for width, angle, and depth so that the clamping forces are equal for both sides.
•
Adjust the width of the Clamp Jaws to the chair frame front tubes by pulling down the QR Levers to
allow the Clamp Mechanism Receiver to slide in and out of its housing. See Figure 11 above.
•
Once the centre of the Clamping Jaws is in line with the mid-line of the chair tubes, close the QR Levers.
•
To fit a narrower chair, the Clamp Mechanism Receiver on both sides can be reversed to an inward
orientation. See Figure 19 below. Pull down the QR Levers, slide out the Width Adjusting Rods, reverse
the Clamp Mechanism Receiver then put in the Clamp Jaws and adjust the width of the Clamp Jaws to
the Wheelchair frame front tubes by sliding in and out of the housing. Once the centre of the Clamping
Jaws is in line with the mid-line of the chair tubes, close the QR Levers.
