6.16 Adjusting the Backrest
Control Handle Tension
The cable attached to the backrest control handle may
require occasional adjustment to retain proper function. If
the control handle activates too quickly or too slowly, adjust
the tension on the cable.
KNOWING WHEN ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED
● If the backrest lowers without operating the control
handle, the cable is too tight. Decrease tension on the
cable.
If the backrest does not lower when the control handle
●
is used, or lowers too slowly, the cable is too loose.
Increase tension on the cable.
ADJUSTING THE CABLE TENSION
Follow the same procedure for each control handle.
1. Use a 11 mm wrench to loosen the jam nut (Figure 62).
2. While using the 11 mm wrench to prevent the jam
nut from rotating, use an 8 mm wrench to rotate the
cable nut (Figure 62) until the control handle functions
properly. As you look at the top of the assembly (where
the cable attaches to the assembly):
○ Rotate the cable nut counterclockwise to loosen or
decrease the tension of the cable.
Rotate the cable nut clockwise to tighten or increase
○
the tension of the cable.
3. Tighten the jam nut.
