5.8 Armrests
5.8.1
Armrests-removing and replacing (Fig. 23)
The armrests on both sides of the
wheelchair can be flipped up to allow side
transfer.
For side transfer flip the armrest all the
way up until it goes into its mechanical
stop. This frees your space for side
transfer.
To bring the armrests back into their position flip it all the way down
until it sits on its mechanical stop. Guide it in its downward movement
and do not let it fall on its own.
5.8.2
Armrest Height Adjustment (Fig. 24 - 39)
The following section outlines armrest height adjustment. In the case
of either fine or gross adjustment, it is a two-part process:
PART I: Adjust the armrest height through rotation
(Numbers 1-8 in the following pages).
PART II: Adjust armpad angle.

(Numbers 9-13 in the following pages).
PART 1: ARMREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Fig. 25
1.
Basic fine adjustment (up to one inch) of the armrest height can
be achieved using the 5mm fine height adjustment screw (B). To fine
tune the armrest's height:
•
First loosen the 6mm rotation bolts on both armrests (A).
•
Turn the adjustment screws (B) counter-clockwise to raise the
armrest or clockwise to lower.
•
Retighten both rotation bolts (A).
(Use 20 N/m or 177 in/lb of torque.)
Refer to armpad realignment if desired armrest height is achieved.

NOTE– The fine-tune adjustment screws provide up to one inch
of armrest height adjustment. For more than one inch of height
adjustment, continue to Number 2. Each armrest can also be
adjusted independently for individuals who require an asymmetrical
configuration.
NOTE– The factory preset is 10" from the seat pan to the top of the
armpads.

To achieve more than one inch of adjustment, remove the 6mm
armrest rotation bolts on both sides of the ASAP seat.
