WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise
injury or damage may occur.

13.1 Adjusting Tilt-In-Space Trigger Release Cables

WARNING
DO NOT adjust the trigger release cables while the cables are coiled up. The adjustment will be too tight when the cable is
straightened and the tilt mechanism will not lock and hold its position, possibly causing injury.

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.
B. Check that the teeth of the right gear sector engage with the gear rack (Detail "B" in FIGURE 1 on page 109).
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.
