5.8 Standard Armrests
5.8.1 Armrests-removing and replacing (Standard
Seat).
The armrests on both sides of the wheelchair can be flipped
up to allow side transfer, (Fig. 5.18).
For side transfer flip the armrest all the way up until it goes into
its mechanical stop. This frees your space for side transfer.
To bring the armrests back into their position flip it all the
way down until it sits on its mechanical stop. Guide it in its
downward movement and do not let it fall on its own.
Reclining arm rest:
• Undo the lever at the bottom pivot of the arm rest.
• Lift the arm rest up out the receiver. You can now flip it
backwards, (Fig. 5.18.1).
5.8.2 Standard Seat Armrest Height Adjustment
The following section outlines armrest height adjustment. In
the case of either fine or gross adjustment, it is a
two-part process:
PART I: Adjust the armrest height through rotation
PART 2: Adjust arm pad angle.
1.Basic fine adjustment.
PART 1 (fig. 5.19 & 5.20)
Up to one inch of armrest height adjustment can be achieved
using the 5mm fine height adjustment screw to fine tune the
armrest’s height.
1. Loosen the 6mm rotation bolts on both armrests (A).
2. Turn the adjustment screws (B) counter-clockwise to
raise the armrest or clockwise to lower.
3. Retighten both rotation bolts (A).
Use 20 N/m or 177 in/lb of torque.
PART 2 (fig. 5.21 & 5.22)
1. Loosen the 4mm armpad angle pivot bolts (A) on both
armrests. Remove the 4mm angle index bolts (B) on both
armrests.
2. Tilt both armpads down (or up in the case of a lowered
armrest) until the armpads are in the preferred angle.
Check to see if the height is correct.
3. Retighten both armpad angle pivot bolts (A). Replace
both armpad angle index bolts (B).
Use 10 N/m or 88.5 in/lb of torque for both sets of bolts.
