Back Angle
Rotate the angle-adjusting turnbuckle, which connects the wheelchair’s back to the seat.
Footrest Height
With the 5 mm hex key, loosen the two bolts located at the back of the caster wing. Raise of lower the
telescoping footrest to the desired height. Re-tighten the bolts.
Back Height
Remove the bolts at the top of the back rest tubes. Extend the telescopic backrest posts to the desired
height. Reinsert and tighten the back rest tube bolts.
Caster Pod Adjustment
To ensure the caster wheels are properly aligned and roll without “fluttering” or “diving”, the fork stem
bolts need to be perpendicular to the ground. The fork stem bolts will be perpendicular to the ground
when the frame of the chair is level (parallel to the ground) or when the frontwing downtubes are
perpendicular to the ground. The caster pods can be raised or lowered on the frontwing downtube to
adjust the angle of the frame and frontwing.
To adjust the position of the caster pods, use the 5 mm hex key and loosen the caster pod bolts, which
hold the caster pod in place on the caster wing. Using the optional level, raise or lower the caster pod
until the Icon’s frame is level (parallel to the ground). When the frame is level, the caster pods will be
perpendicular to the ground and will roll without fluttering or diving. Re-tighten the bolts.
When loosened, the castor pods can also be adjusted on a horizontal axis. Remember to re-tighten the
bolts.
Center of Gravity
On the underside of the seat, use the 5 mm hex key to loosen the four bolts which connect the seat
bracket to the seat rails. Slide the seat forward or backward, to the desired position. Re-tighten the seat
bracket bolts.
Seat Width
If you are using a tension adjustable back, loosen the straps. If you are using a hard back, remove the
back completely.
Using the 4 mm hex key, loosen the eight bolts on the upper side of the seat that fix the side supports to
the seat. Next, using the 5 mm hex key loosen the clamps at bottom of the telescoping back frame. Adjust
the side supports and telescoping back frame to the desired width. Re-tighten the side support and back
frame clamps. Re-attach the hard back or re-tighten the tension adjustable back.
Camber
Using the 5 mm hex key, remove the retaining bolts from the rear of each of the camber adjustment
assemblies. Replace the bolts in desired camber-setting hole. Re-tighten the retaining bolts.
