NOTE: The following procedure is for High Back Captain's
seat model wheelchairs only.
WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any re-
cline position over 114
o
RELATIVE TO THE SEAT
FRAME. If the limit switch does not stop the wheel-
chair from operating in a recline position greater
than 114
o
RELATIVE TO THE SEAT FRAME, DO NOT
operate the wheelchair. Adjust the limit switch or
have the wheelchair serviced by a dealer or
qualified technician, otherwise injury or damage
may occur.
1. Place the wheelchair on a level surface.
2. Recline the captain's seat back to a 24
o
to achieve the
114
o
angle relative to the seat frame. Refer to AD-
JUSTING CAPTAIN'S SEAT in PROCEDURE 9 of
the owner's manual, part number 1080737.
NOTE: The captain's seat frame is at a 5
o
angle relative to
the ground. When the back angle is adjusted to 114
o
rela-
tive to the seat, it will measure 61
o
relative to the ground.
NOTE: To determine 114
o
back angle relative to the seat
frame, place a magnetic protractor (available at any hard-
ware store) on the back as shown in FIGURE 13 and
adjust the back until the magnetic protractor reads 61
o
.

screws, washers and locknuts that secure the
actuator to the upper limit switch bracket.
C. Slide actuator UP (towards top of the wheelchair).
CAUTION
