A.BEFORE YOU RIDE
The Shadow Mach 2 has the potential to help you become more mobile and
physically fit. Because the Shadow Mach 2 will give you an aerobic workout, we
strongly advise that you check with your physician before starting to ride.They
can advise you, and give approval for your intended exercise level and duration.
B. PROPER FIT
For proper function as well as safety the Shadow Mach 2 must be adjusted for
your body. Here are some guidelines for proper fit.
1. Legs and Feet
Your feet should be able to rest on the footplates.The adjustable straps should
be used to hold your feet in place while you ride. For safety, feet should always
be kept within the confines of the footplates.When seated in the Shadow Mach
2, your legs should not rub against any portion of the frame work or have too
much free movement that might change the center of balance in a turn.
2. Seating
The Shadow Mach 2 seat width should be the same as your present wheelchair
width.The backs of your knees should be clear of the front of the seat as well.
Your seat depth can be adjusted from 12”-16” in one inch increments.
3. Head Assembly Height
The minimum clearance between your knees and the crank arms is 1”. If the
distance is less than 1”, it must be raised before your first ride.
4. Arm Reach
After transferring into the Shadow Mach 2, you should slide the seat forward
so when your hands are in the furthest away position they still have a slight
bend in the elbows, about 10
o
. Lower levels,T-8 or less, may want the seat back
a little so they can use some body movement. All users who lack abdominal
muscles should use the chest strap for better balance while riding as well as
consistent stopping and more power on inclines.
5. Footrest Adjustment
The position of the footplates can be adjusted fore and aft by removing the
bolts and adjusting the clamps.The height of the footrest can also be changed
by removing the two bolts that attach the footrest extension tubes to the main
frame.When making these adjustments be careful to leave clearance for turn-
ing the front wheel.
V . R I D I N G S A F E L Y - R E A D B E F O R E U S E
The lowest point of the footrest should be at least 2 1/2” between the
ground and underside of the footrest.
