Camber Mounts; Adjusting The Rear Seat Height - TiLite TRA AERO T Owner's Manual

TiLite Aero T and TRA wheelchairs are equipped with a camber tube. By adjusting the position of the camber tube,
you can adjust the center of gravity of your chair. This Chapter explains the various adjustments that are possible.
The same adjustment will apply whether you have an aluminum, titanium or carbon fiber camber tube. If your camber
is 12°, 15° or 18° and you need to remove the camber tube, you will need to remove the axle sleeve to allow the
camber tube to slide out of the clamp or mount, see "Adjusting Rear Wheel Spacing" on page 12-3.
I WARNING
Any changes to the position of the camber tube will affect the stability of the chair. Use extreme caution when using a
new camber tube position as the new position may make the chair more prone to tip over. If you ignore this Warning,
your chair may not perform properly, which in turn, may cause you to fall, tip over or lose control of the chair and
seriously injure yourself or others or damage the chair.
I WARNING
Whenever you adjust the position of the camber tube (either to adjust the rear seat height or the center of gravity), it
may be necessary to adjust the toe-in/toe-out of the rear wheels. See "Adjusting Toe-In/Toe-Out" on pages 8-5 and
8-6. In addition, whenever you adjust the position of the camber tube or when you adjust the toe-in If you ignore this
Warning, your chair may not perform properly, which, in turn, may cause you to fall, tip over or lose control of the chair
and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the chair.
Note: It is recommended that you remove the rear wheels and turn the chair upside down before attempting to make
any adjustments described in this Chapter. A padded surface will help protect the frame's finish.

Adjusting the Rear Seat Height

Tools Needed:
• 3/16" Allen Wrench
1. Note the original position of the camber tube clamp relative to the notches on the vertical strut. See Figure 8-1.
2. Remove the two Allen screws (one on each side) and washers that secure the camber tube clamps to the vertical
struts.
3. Reposition the camber tube clamp to the desired height. Notches are 3/8" apart.
Note: Vertical struts come in three sizes, short, medium and long. If you are not able to achieve the desired seat
height with your existing vertical strut, you may need to purchase longer or shorter struts.
4. Make sure the identical notches are used on both vertical struts.
5. Reinstall the two Allen screws (one on each side) and washers and securely tighten.
6. Check the toe-in/toe-out and adjust as needed, and square the casters as needed. See pages 8-3 and 8-4.
