4.6.1 CHANGING SEAT DEPTH

The seat depth can be easily adjusted, using the same components

found on the wheelchair to 16, 17, 18 and 19 inches or 19, 20, 21 and 22 inches.

(see; figure 11).

To do it :

1. Unscrew and remove the (A) screw and (B) nut (using a 7/16" wrench);

2. Make the footrest hanger bracket (C) slide into seat structure tubing (F) until you

get the needed depth and position the (A) screw to tighten the assembly;

3. When you extend seat depth more than 16 inches or 19 inches depending which

seat structure (F) you have, you will need to install the (D) seat support to support

the seat plate;

4. Once the depth is determined, replace the (A) screw and tighten the armrest

support with the (B) nut (make sure to replace the washer);

5. Fix the (D) seat support on the footrest hanger bracket (C) with the (E) screw,

using a 5/32" Allen key and position the (D) seat support always in the farthest

hole from the (A) screw.
