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.
Loosen the 6mm rotation bolts on both armrests (A).1.
Turn the adjustment screws (B) counter-clockwise to 2.
raise the armrest or clockwise to lower.
Retighten both rotation bolts (A).3.
Use 20 N/m or 177 in/lb of torque.
PART 2 (fig. 5.21 & 5.22)
Loosen the 4mm armpad angle pivot bolts (A) on both 1.
armrests. Remove the 4mm angle index bolts (B) on
both armrests.
Tilt both armpads down (or up in the case of a lowered 2.
armrest) until the armpads are in the preferred angle.
Check to see if the height is correct.
Retighten both armpad angle pivot bolts (A). Replace 3.
both armpad angle index bolts (B).
Use 10 N/m or 88.5 in/lb of torque for both sets of bolts.
