SET-UP, ADJUSTMENT, & CARE
ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING THE SOLID DROP SEAT
Located on the bottom of the Solid Drop Seat are IO pairs of
holes, five pairs on each side of the platform. Each hook has two
slots that line up with one pair of holes. Locate where the hooks
should best be placed on the platform so that the installation
doesn't interfere with hardware on the wheelchair seat frame.
There are four hooks. Each side requires installing two. Align the
slots in the hooks with one pair of holes. Slide a washer onto a
bolt and fasten the bolt through the slot in the hook into the Solid
Drop Seat. Each hook requires two bolts. Do the same for all four
hooks. Leave all hooks slightly loose. Place the solid seat on the
seat rail frame and adjust the width. Tighten as many hook bolts
as possible prior to removing Solid Drop Seat from chair (this will
preserve their alignment). Remove the Solid Drop Seat and finish
tightening the bolts to secure the hooks.
Strong platform promotes
level sitting surface
Five hook attachment locations
accommodate most wheelchair
frames
Each hook adjusts 1/2" in
width for slightly irregular
wheelchair widths
Cushion is notched
to drop up to 1 1/2"
1/2", 1", or 1 1/2" drop
hooks may be used to
change seat to floor height
SECURE HOOK RETAINERS AND STOPPERS
You should now be ready to secure the restraining hardware onto
your wheelchair rails.
Snap the two hook retainers toward the back of the wheelchair
seat rail.
The rear hooks will slide under these as shown below. These will
prevent your cushion from accidentally popping out of the
wheelchair. Snap the hook stopper towards the front of the
wheelchair seat rails. The front hooks rest behind the stopper to
prevent your cushion from sliding forward.
Retainers and stoppers should be secured tightly to wheelchair
seat rails with the nuts and bolts provided. Point the heads of the
bolts to the outside of the wheelchair.
Note: Enclosed are three lengths of 8-32 bolts. Using bolt longer
than required can interfere with installation and removal of seat.
Use:
• The 8-32 x 3/4" when the stopper and/or retainers are
mounted on 7/8" tubing.
• The 8-32 x I" when the stopper and/or retainers are mounted
on I" diameter tubing.
• The 8-32 x 1-1/4" when the stopper and/or retainers are
mounted over "rivnut" threaded insert on I" diameter tubing. To
install cushion, simply slide rear hooks under the rear hooks
retainers and drop front hook behind hook stopper.
Note: If hook retainers or stopper cannot be installed due to
interference with hardware on your wheelchair, you might need
to select an alternate location for your brackets and hooks.
Use hook stopper 1/4"
forward of one front hook
Use hook retainers
behind rear hooks
