Seat Sling Adjustment - Quickie GT Owner's Manual

E NG LIS H
Backrest Angle Preset Plugs
The preset plugs allow you to unemploy the backrest bracket holes you do not wish to use. This allows the
backrest to automatically lock into your desired angle position after unfolding.
1. Determine which backrest bracket holes you do not want to use.
2. Insert plugs (A) into the predetermined holes from the chair side of the bracket (B).
3. To ensure the backrest locks in the folded position, do not insert a plug into the lowest hole (C).
Depth Adjustable Back Plugs
The DAB Frame insert plugs (D) allow you to compensate for a thicker or thinner after-market backrest with-
out having to change the Center of Gravity of the person in the wheelchair.

. The backrest may be adjusted by first removing the JAY style quick-release lanyard cord (not shown)
from the backrest release pins.
2. Using a 5mm and 10mm Allen Wrench, remove the bolt holding the backrest bracket to the chair.
3. Remove the quick-release pins, frame bushing, and springs.
4. If the desired back depth is 1" greater, move the plunger bushing back one hole. If the desired back depth
adjustment is 2", the plunger bushing must be moved to the most rearward hole.
5. To reassemble the back, reinsert the springs into the bushings. Then reinsert the quick-release pins into
the bushings with the lanyard attachment holes first .
6. Reposition the backrest in place in the folded position. Insert the quick-release pin into its appropriate
placement hole.
7. Insert the large beveled washer in between the backrest bracket and the frame. Insert the backrest plate
pivot bolt into the chair and secure using the washer and nylock nut.
8. Using the 5mm and 10mm Allen Wrench, tighten the nylock nut so that the end of the bolt reaches the
end of the nut. Repeat on the opposite side of the chair.
NOTE– Do not over-tighten the backrest plate pivot bolt as it may hinder the backrest from folding properly.
9. Reattach the JAY®-style quick-release lanyard to the quick-release pins.
NOTE–
This adjustment is intended to compensate for differences in after-market backrest thickness and/or
contour. The back-canes can be adjusted fore and aft relative to the seat so that the backrest sup-
port surface does not change the location of the user, regardless of the backrest mounting location.
This ensures that the center of gravity of the user relative to the axle location, is not altered due to
after-market backrest thickness or contour. There is no recommendation for Depth Adjustable
Backrest use for transit.
Non-folding back instructions
1. Remove backrest bracket bolt (A).
2. Rotate the backrest to the desired angle.
3. Align desired backrest bracket hole with seat frame opening.
4. Reinsert bolt and tighten.
CAUTION – When changing the back angle of the wheelchair both the left and right angle adjustable back
bracket must be in the same hole position before the wheelchair is to be used.
R. SEAT SLING ADJUSTMENT
Remove the bolts (B) and rear bolt nut (C) to allow seat upholstery (D) to be removed from frame. Retain plas-
tic saddles (not shown) for placement between seat sling and frame. Repeat steps for other side.
To reattach seat sling, place seat sling (C) over chair frame. Line up seat sling and plastic saddles. Replace the
screws (A) and rear nut (B) and tighten accordingly. If there is any difficulty in reattaching the screws, try using a
probe to help align the holes. Ensure that the plastic saddles are under the seat rail in all fastener positions.
