5.8 Armrests
5.8.1 Armrests-removing and replacing (Fig. 28)
The armrests on both sides of the wheelchair can be flipped up
to allow side transfer.
For side transfer flip the armrest all the
way up until it goes into its mechanical
stop. This frees your space for side
transfer.
To bring the armrests back into their
position flip it all the way down until it sits on its mechanical
stop. Guide it in its downward movement and do not let it fall on
its own.
5.8.2 Armrest Height Adjustment (Fig. 29 - 44)
The following section outlines armrest height adjustment. In the
case of either fine or gross adjustment, it is a two-part process:
PART I: Adjust the armrest height through rotation
PART II: Adjust armpad angle. (See section 5.8.3)
1. Basic fine adjustment (up to one inch) of the armrest height
can be achieved using the 5mm fine height adjustment screw
(Fig. 31,B). To fine tune the armrest’s height:
• Firstloosenthe6mmrotationboltsonbotharmrests(A).
• Turntheadjustmentscrews(B)counter-clockwisetoraise
the armrest or clockwise to lower.
• Retightenbothrotationbolts(A).
(Use 20 N/m or 177 in/lb of torque.)
Refer to armpad realignment if desired armrest height is
achieved.(Fig. 30)
NOTE– The fine-tune adjustment screws provide up to one
inch of armrest height adjustment. For more than one inch of
height adjustment, continue to Number 2. Each armrest can
also be adjusted independently for individuals who require an
asymmetrical configuration.
NOTE– The factory preset is 10” from the seat pan to the top of
the armpads.
PART 1: ARMREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
2. To achieve more than one inch of adjustment, remove the
6mm armrest rotation bolts on both sides of the seat.
3. Remove both armrest assemblies. (Fig 32,33)
4. Remove both sets of 4mm armrest adjustment ring bolts.
(Fig.34)
5. Rotate the armrest height adjustment rings to match the
desired height designated in the Configuration Chart. (Fig.35)
6. Replace both sets of armrest adjustment ring bolts according
to the configuration chart. (Fig.36,37)
(Use 10 N/m or 88.5in/lb of torque.)
7. Replace both armrest assemblies. (Fig.38)
