4.12 TILT MECHANISM
4.12.1 TO ADJUST THE FORCE REQUIRED TO TILT
We can adjust the force required to tilt. We simply have to position the anchor
point of the pneumatic cylinder in either the front, center or rear position as
shown on figure 36 below :
Figure 36 : Adjustment of the required force to tilt.
1. Using a 1/2" key, remove the screw that maintains the actuator base. Screws
are under the seat on both left and right sides (see; figure 36).
Caution: Once the screws are removed on both sides, it will be really important to not
touch the actuator handles, to keep both actuators in the same position from the start
until the end of this modification.
2. Choose one of the (3) adjustment positions described on figure 36 and replace
the screws in position. Tighten firmly.
3. Carry out some tilt tests to determine the required force so that the caregiver is
able to tilt the user easily.
