1. Unlock the T‐arm by flipping the T‐arm release lever towards the inside of the
wheelchair.
NOTE: If necessary, pull out on the T‐arm release lever and rotate 180° so it can be flipped towards
the outside of the wheelchair.
2. Slide the T‐arm to desired height:
• Low Height T‐arms ‐ Nine positions.
• High Height T‐arms ‐ Seven positions.
NOTE: If the inside T‐arm post does not slide
up and down in the outside T‐arm post as
desired, perform one of the following:
• Tighten ‐ Tightening the set screws on
the outside T‐arm post will make it
harder to move the inside T‐arm post up

outside T‐arm post will make it easier to
move the inside T‐arm post up and
down.
3. Lock the T‐arm by flipping the T‐arm
release lever towards the front of the
