Accessory LEG ABDUCTOR (Pommel)
INSTALLATION and ADJUSTMENT
4mm Hexagon Key
The caddy Leg Abductor Figs.18 & 19 is intended for use as a device to
assist with user positioning and offers an angle adjustable vertical stem, with
a quick release fold down mechanism, thus avoiding the need for the device
removal during transfers.
The Abductor should be mounted to the upper front surface of the pre-drilled
Seat Base Board and may be attached, where access allows, by screws inserted
upwards from the underside into threaded key washers as Fig.18.
Where underside access is limited, it may be necessary for the screws to be
inserted downwards from the top into a single retaining plate with two threaded
holes (these are available from RMS sales). Depth adjustment of the Abductor is
therefore made at this point, Fig.18.
Depth adjustment of the Abductor Pad can also be made at the Pad attachment
point to it’s mounting bracket, Fig.19.
Height and angle adjustments can also be made by using a combination of
adjustment pivot points, Fig.18.
To fold the Abductor assembly either downwards or upwards, fully depress the
RED
Lock-Release button Fig.19 and fold to the required locked position.

With the screws removed from the Lock and Latch Brackets, install both Lock
Brackets onto the seat rails (one each side). Locate each Lock Bracket with
the rear edge of the clamp in line with the previously marked front Support
Hook position. With locating lugs uppermost and pointing rearwards as Fig.7a,
install clamping screws and tighten sufficient to maintain the Bracket positions
on the seat rails.
Install the Latch Brackets onto the seat canvas rails and locate against the
previously marked position as Fig.7. Re-install clamping screws and tighten
clamps just sufficient to lightly maintain their position but still allowing their
movement if required. Pull each locking plunger rearwards until it clicks into
the unlocked position Fig.7b.
Re-install Seat Base Panel by raising the rear edge to approximately 15
whilst locating the front Support Brackets under each Lock Bracket. With the
Seat Panel resting on the seat rails and pushed fully forward, slide Latch
Brackets with the locking plunger uppermost, forwards until the clamps just
lightly contact the rear Seat Support Hook Brackets then back by 2mm Fig.7c.
To confirm correct bracket positioning, it is recommended that a careful test by
removal and refitting of the Seat Base Panel is carried at this stage.
Fully tighten all Lock & Latch clamping screws sufficient to maintain their
positions on the Seat Rails.
