Q. SEAT PAN
The seat pan of the IRIS is designed to accommodate depth adjustment.
Depth adjustment
a. Loosen and remove all bolts (A).
b. Adjust the seat pan to the desired depth.
c. Replace and tighten all bolts.
NOTE–
Use the holes that place the bolts as far away from each other as possible.
Width adjustment
a. Loosen and remove all bolts (B).
b. Adjust chair to the desired width.
c. Replace and tighten all bolts.
R. CUSHION INSTALLATION
a. Place cushion on seat pan with hook material side down. The beveled edge of the
cushion should be in front.
b. Press firmly into place.
S. REAR AXLE
1. To Mount and Remove Rear Wheels (optional)
Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure both quick-release axles are locked. An unlocked
axle may come off during use and cause a fall.
NOTE– Axle is not locked until the quick-release button (A) pops out fully.
2. To Install Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully. This will release tension on ball bearings at
other end.
b. Insert axle through hub of rear wheel (B).
c. Keep pressure on button (A) as you slide axle (C) into axle sleeve (D).
d. Release button to lock axle in sleeve. Adjust axle if it does not lock.
e. Repeat steps on other side.
3. To Remove Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully.
b. Remove wheel by sliding axle (C) out of axle sleeve (D).
c. Repeat steps on other side.
4. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.
a. To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4" wrench (E) to turn the outside axle nuts (D).
b. You will also need a 1/2" wrench to lodge the ball bearings (F), on the opposite end of
the axle, and prevent the axle from turning.
c. Turn the outside axle nut clockwise to tighten.
d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010") of play.
5. Weight Distribution
Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the
rear axles forward or rearward on the frame.
Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and rearward tipping stability.
Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider’s weight onto the REAR wheels, provid-
ing the following benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus reducing the
turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.
