• 5/16" Allen wrench
• 9/16" box and open-end wrench

A. BATTERY REMOVAL (Figures 1, 2 & 3)
To remove the batteries for transporting or servicing:
1. Remove seat by removing the release pin and then pulling the two release mecha-
nisms inward. Then slide the chair forward and lift off.
2. Remove battery access panel by inserting a flat head screw driver between the panel
and main shroud toward the back of the panel at the word “open”.
3. Push the screw driver forward until the panel lifts off.
4. Unplug and remove batteries from rear of chair.
5. Lift up batteries by lifting up on battery straps.
Batteries may weigh up to 55 lbs. Care must be taken to avoid injury when lifting
up on battery straps.
B. SOLID SEAT BACK & LATERAL THORACIC SUPPORTS
1. To adjust the height of the lateral support mount, loosen the adjustment screw until
the receiver slides freely on the back posts. Tighten the adjustment screw when the
proper height is determined.
2. Assess and fit the lateral thoracic supports. Assess client for proper positioning of
the lateral thoracic supports. Each support is independent and may be adjusted for
your client’s clinical need.
A minimum of 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance should exist between the top of the lat-
eral support and the user’s arm pit.
a. To adjust the height, angle or width of the lateral thoracic support pads, loosen
the top bolts and slide to correct width. Tighten bolt to bolt plate. If more
adjustment is necessary, loosen the internally mounted bolts, and slide in the
track to the desired height and width. The angle is obtained by tilting the bracket
as needed. Tighten the bolts.
b. To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, turn the middle bracket so that
the slots are on side. Adjust to desired depth. Re-tighten the bolts.
