Changing The Width Of The Non-Tilt-In-Space Orbit - Invacare ORBIT Service Manual

CHANGING THE WIDTH
CHANGING THE WIDTH OF THE NON-TILT-IN-SPACE
NOTE: The Orbit wheelchair has a unique feature enabling the user to position a wider seat frame onto a much
narrower base frame or vice versa. The following steps were developed to provide assistance in successfully deter-
mining and changing the orbit into the desired configuration.
STEP 1: Review the chart below to determine the allowable seat frame width and base frame
width combinations.
The seat frame width MUST NOT EXCEED the base frame width by more than 2-inches. Any
seat width greater than 2-inch in relation to the base frame WILL cause the wheelchair
to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
NOTE: The seat frame and base frame widths are measured in inches.
