SECTION 11—OPTIONS

Installing Crutch and Cane Carrier

Check base weekly to ensure proper placement.
When loading the crutch/cane carrier, ensure items are securely placed into the
base. Also ensure that there is no interference with folding the wheelchair, the rear
wheels, or the swing-back arms.
Strap MUST be securely fastened while carrying items.
NEVER insert or remove items while wheelchair is moving.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.2.
1. Slide the clamp with the base attached over the end of the step tube of the wheelchair.
Ensure the base is towards the inside of the wheelchair.
2. Position the base parallel to the step tube.
Base should be parallel to step tube to avoid bending spokes when folding the
wheelchair.
3. Securely tighten the locknut that secures the base to the step tube of the wheelchair.
4. Remove the upper back upholstery screw and washer.
5. Align the strap with the back upholstery screw mounting hole.
6. Reinstall the back upholstery screw and washer and secure the strap to the wheelchair.

mild soap and water.
