Adjust hand control extension—change sides
Tools needed: M13 wrench, M5 hex key, cable ties
e hand control can be mounted on either the left or right side. Only the side with the hand control
has an arm extension tube, as shown in picture at right. To change sides, you will remove both upper
arms and switch them (in picture at right, hand control is shown mounted on the right arm):
1. Engage the drive wheels (with the drive en-
gagement levers) and turn wheelchair power
off.
2. Find the end of the hand control cable and
disconnect the hand control connector
from the extension cable connector where it
emerges from a hole in the cowl.
3. Use M13 wrench and M5 hex key to
remove hardware that secures upper arm to
lower arm.
4. Slide upper arm free of lower arm. Take
care that hand control does not fall.
5. Repeat stems 3 and 4 for other arm.
6. Install arms in opposite positions.
7. Install mounting hardware that secures
upper arm to lower arm. Use M13 wrench
and M5 hex key to tighten hardware. Re-
peat for other arm.
8. Connect the hand control connector to the
extension cable where it emerges from a
hole in the cowl.
9. Ensure that the hand control cable won't
catch on anything in its new position. As
shown in picture, cable ties secure the cable
to the arm extension tube and the upper
arm, to prevent its catching on anything.
If cable is loose and could possibly catch
on anything, use a cable tie to secure it to a
part of the frame where it will not contact
any moving parts.
WARNING: Ensure that arms are securely mounted, extension is securely mounted,
cables are secured, and that cables are away from all moving parts before
occupying or operating wheelchair.
