SECTION 6—ARMS

Replacing the T-Arm Locking Lever

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.20.
1. Remove the T‐arm from the wheelchair. Refer to Installing/Removing T‐Arms on
page 55.
2. Remove the mounting screw and locknut that secure the existing locking lever to the
bottom bracket.
The locking lever is spring loaded. Place your free hand over the locking lever to
prevent the parts from springing off of the bottom bracket.
3. Remove the existing locking lever and spring from the bottom bracket.
NOTE: Inspect the spring and replace if necessary.
4. Position the spring on the bottom bracket (FIGURE 6.20).
5. Position the new locking lever onto the spring and the bottom bracket.
NOTE: Make sure the two extended ends of the spring are inside the notch in the locking lever.
6. Line up the mounting holes in the new locking lever, spring and bottom bracket.
DO NOT overtighten the locknut that secures the locking lever to the bottom
bracket. Over tightening this locknut will prevent the locking lever from operating
properly, possibly causing injury.
7. Install the mounting screw and tighten securely with the locknut.
8. Install the T‐arm onto the wheelchair. Refer to Installing/Removing T‐Arms on
page 55.
