WARNING
Do not adjust the trigger release cables while
the cables are coiled up. The adjustment will
be too tight when the cable is straightened and
the gas cylinder will not lock and hold its posi-
tion, possibly causing injury.
1. To adjust the LEFT gas cylinder:
Squeeze the trigger release lever of the RIGHT
recliner cable assembly and try to tilt the wheel-
chair. The wheelchair should not tilt.
2. If the LEFT side of the wheelchair tilts without
squeezing the trigger release lever of the LEFT
cable assembly, perform the following steps:
A. Loosen the cable locking nut that secures the
cable adjusting nut in place.
B. Turn cable adjusting nut one (1) of two (2)
ways:
NOTE: If the cable is too loose, the gas cylin-
ders will not work.
WARNING
DO NOT over tighten the adjusting nut on the
cable. Over tightening the adjusting nut on the
cable WILL actuate the gas cylinder, possibly
causing injury.
