4. Unfold the hinged carriage into the TWS frame, allowing the upper half
of the carriage to lie gently on top of the foot bar.

foot end cross member.

Your TWS comes equipped with a 4-position gear system. By
changing the gear settings, the TWS will accommodate different
body types or vary the amount of hip and knee flexion. A gear block,
a small wooden block with protruding stem, is included with your
accessories. This component is used to maintain the proper initial
spring tension when the gear setting is changed.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, you must use the gear block to limit
the motion of the carriage. By limiting the motion of the carriage,
the gear block prevents the round spring bar from turning too far
downward, potentially allowing the springs to become disengaged
from their hooks.
Place the gear block in the holes on the aluminum track on the right
hand side (when lying on the carriage) of the TWS as follows:
Standard 4-position (negative) gear systems: Negative gear (-1) is
the gear slot closest to the foot end of the TWS and does not require
the use of the gear block. For 1st, 2nd or 3rd gears, place the round
spring bar in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th slots and place the gear block in
the 1st, 2nd or 3rd holes respectively.
