Appendix; Actuation Adjustment - Champion ASCENT Operating Instructions And Service Manual

ACTUATION ADJUSTMENT:

TOOLS REQUIRED:
Please read all directions before making adjustment. Refer back to directions and illustrations as
you make the adjustment. Call Customer Service if you have any questions or problems.
CAUTION: This adjustment requires tightening or loosening fasteners that effect
the chair operation. If these components are tightened too much, the chair will be
difficult to operate. If they are loosened too much, the chair may "drift" from one
position to the next.
1. Assemble required tools.
2. Move the chair to access the back of the chair.
3. Sit in the chair and actuate it several times to become aware of the "ease of actuation".
Move to the back of the chair. At the bottom of the back, locate the mechlok assemblies.
If your chair is older, these may be behind a large fabric flap. If this is the case, separate
the hook and loop fastener at the bottom of the flap to look behind it. Open or turn back
the mechlok assembly covers. (See following illustration)
4. Locate the fastener at the top of the mechlok assembly. Use your wrenches to adjust the
fastener assembly ¼ turn. (Loosen the fastener to make the chair recline more easily.
Tighten the fastener to make the chair hold its position.) Locate the fastener at the bottom
of the assembly and repeat the operation. Move to the opposite side of the back and
repeat both operations.
5. Use the release at the side of the chair to move the chair to "TV position". Face the chair,
grasp the seat bottom and pull down and back. This places the chair in the full recline
position. Look between the bottom back pillow and seat for the back mount. Note that
this is under a fabric cover; raise the cover to expose the fastener assembly. Adjust the
fastener ¼" turn, replace the cover and repeat on the opposite side of the chair.
6. Standing at the chair front, push the seat back to return the chair to "TV position". With
the chair in the "TV position", push down on the seat with one hand and use the other
hand to push down on the leg rest to return the chair to the upright position. Sit in the
chair and check the ease of actuation. Repeat the adjustment until the desired effect is
achieved.
