Checking the Clearance between the Front Rigging and
Caster Wheel or Front Rigging and Front Shroud
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 8.6.
NOTE: These instructions apply to elevate power seating (tilt elevate, tilt recline elevate, and
elevate only).
1. Perform one of the following:
• Wheelchairs with Swing Away Front Rigging (Detail "A") - Rotate front casters
forward as if the wheelchair were moving in reverse.
NOTE: If wheelchair is equipped with composite footrests, point the front casters toward
the footplate.
• Wheelchair with Center Mount Front Rigging (Detail "B") - Position center mount
front rigging to the lowest setting to position the footplate as close as possible to
the front shroud.
2. Measure the gap:
• For swingaway front riggings - measure between the front caster and the footplate
• For center mount front rigging - measure between the footplate and the front
shroud.
3. Perform one of the following:
• If the gap is between 1 inch and 1½ inches, the seat frame is in the proper mounting
position.
• If the gap is greater than 1½ inches, the seat frame is not in the proper mounting
position, refer to Adjusting the Seating System Mounting Position on page 66.
