H. POSITIONING SHELL INSTALLATION
WARNING
BEFORE installing the seating shell, always check that the mobility device is completely unfolded and
in the locked position, and that all four wheels are locked in place. The seating shell should never
be installed with a seated occupant. Always remember to stabilize the mobility device before per-
forming this action.
•
Rotate the front casters until they point forward.
•
Engage the wheel lock.
The positioning shell has a pivot post on each side that mounts the shell to the mobility base. The
mobility base has a slot on each side that receives the shell pivot posts. The shell will not install
onto, nor remove from, the mobility base when the base push handle is folded. The positioning
shell may be installed in a child facing forward or rearward position. Installation is the same either
direction.
Installation in the forward or reversed direction
a. Place the shell over the top of the mobility base, and squeeze the tilt-in-space (TIS) lever (D)
attached to the right side of the shell handle.
b. Align the tilt-in-space guide pins (A) and pivot posts (B) with the mobility base pivot slots (C)
and lower the shell into place.
c. Adjust the legrest, tilt, and optional recline to appropriate configuration.
I. POSITIONING SHELL REMOVAL

BEFORE removing the seating shell, always remove the occupant to a safe location. Failure to do so
may result in injury to the dependent, and/or caregiver. Always remember to stabilize the mobility
device before performing this action.
•
Rotate the front casters until they point forward.
•
Engage the parking brake.
After removing the occupant:
a. Make sure the seat is in the fully upright position (no recline or tilt), and that the push handle
is in its normal use position before you remove the shell.
