10 TILT

This procedure applies to tilt-in-space release cables only.
1. To adjust the left tilt mechanism, do the following:
A. Squeeze the trigger release lever of the right cable assembly (FIGURE 1 on page 75).
B. Check that the teeth of the right gear sector engage with the gear rack (Detail "B" in FIGURE 2 on page 77).
C. Try to tilt the wheelchair. The wheelchair should not tilt.
2. If the left side of the wheelchair tilts without squeezing the trigger release lever of the left cable assembly or if the gear sector is not fully engaged
with the gear rack, perform the following steps:
A. Loosen the cable locking nut that secures the cable adjusting nut in place.
B. Turn cable adjusting nut one of two ways:
• If the cable is too loose, the tilt mechanism will not work.
• If the cable is too tight, the gear sector will not be fully engaged with the gear rack.
WARNING
DO NOT over tighten the cable adjusting nut on the cable. Over tightening the cable adjusting nut on the cable WILL
unlock the tilt mechanism, possibly causing injury.
• To Tighten - Turn the cable adjusting nut clockwise. DO NOT overtighten the cable adjusting nut.
• To Loosen - Turn the cable adjusting nut counterclockwise.
C. While holding the cable adjusting nut in place, tighten the cable locking nut against the cable adjusting nut.
D. Repeat STEP 1.
E. Repeat STEP 2 until the left side of the wheelchair does not tilt and that the gear sector fully engages with the gear rack.
3. If necessary, repeat STEPS 1 and 2 to adjust the left trigger release lever.
WARNING
When cables have been rerouted due to seat depth adjustment, chair width adjustment, or seating accommodation, cables
MUST be readjusted.
