5. Adjusting the Bungee Cords
The bungee will need a knot tied along its
length to supply correct tension to the
forks.
a. Place both wheel axles in tow bar
clips (A).
b. Pull the bungee upward to inspect.
The bottom of the knot should be
2 1/2" to 3" from the bungee's resting
location over the caster housing.
c. Tie the knot loosely at first and check
for the 2 1/2". Check that enough
tension is applied downward to hold
the wheel in the clip.
d. When correctly adjusted, pull the
knot tight.
e. Repeat on the other side's bungee.
Important Note: The loop above the knot it
used for installing and removing the bungee.
CAUTION: Failure to put enough tension on
the bungee cords may result in damage to
your wheelchair.
f.
Remove tow bar from chair.
g. Slide cross tube assembly into drop
tube assembly until the detente pin
clicks into first hole.
h. Check pivot tension - this has been
adjusted to rotate but hold its posi-
tion. Check this periodically. It helps
the wheelchair follow in a straight line.
Note: Over-tightening this bolt will crush tube or
break plastic tube cradles.
i.
Install completed tow bar assembly
into the receiver and install the retain-
ing pin (attached to handle) through
