**If a user needs more uplift to support backrest mounted accessories or significant recline, the strut
can be moved rearward. Suggested strut positions are used to achieve a reasonable handle uplift
force.
**For occupant weight of 250-300Ibs a secondary gas spring assembly is fitted to the chair (available
from PDG)
14.14 Gas Strut and Cable Assembly
14.14.1 Adjusting Cable Tension
After receiving and assembling the chair, you may find
that the chair tilts with user in it when the tilt trigger is
not being pulled OR that the wheelchair will not tilt
when trigger is pulled. This problem may also occur
over time as the tilt cable wire stretches or the sheath
compresses.
IMPORTANT– Before adjusting – ensure the steel ball on
the bottom end of the tilt cable is inserted into the
actuating lever slot and that the cable is properly
attached to the trigger.
To adjust the tension of the tilt cable wire:
