RMS Gill 2 Installation And User Manual - Backrest Angle Adjustment
BACKREST ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Although set to 90º as standard, the Backrest
angle can be increased to 100º if required,
Fig.7a This can be achieved by moving the
Seat Panel forwards on the wheelchair Seat
Rails in one of two ways, dependant on the
size of Action 3 wheelchair and/or Gill 2 Seat
Unit being used.
NOTE: The Gill 2 Seat Unit must be vacated
for this adjustment.
To adjust Backrest Angle:-
Method (1) - where the Locating Clamps for the Front Seat Hook Brackets, are
fitted to the wheelchair Seat Rails sufficiently rearwards of the Parking Brake
Mounts or front Seat Rail Saddles Fig.7b, to allow the Clamps to be moved
forwards by approximately 50mm without interfering with the above wheelchair
components.
Tools Required: 13mm Spanner.
1. Remove Gill 2 Seat Unit from the
wheelchair as described in page 9 (9).
2. Note or mark current positions of Front
Seat Hook Bracket Locating Clamps.
3. Slacken clamping nuts sufficient to be
able to slide all Clamps forwards
equally on the Seat Rails by 25mm for
5º increase in Backrest angle, or 50mm
for 10º increase.
4. Ensure both rear Locating Clamps are
set at equal distance from the front of
each Seat Rail and retighten Clamps
sufficient to prevent any movement.
Position front Clamps approximately 30mm forwards of the rear Clamps.
5. Re-install Gill 2 Seat Unit as described in page 8 (4-5), ensuring the front Seat
Hook Brackets are located over the Seat Rails in front of the rear Locating
Clamps, then slide Seat Unit rearwards until the front Hook Brackets contact the
rear Clamps. Slide both front Locating Clamps rearwards to contact the Hook
Brackets, then retighten both Clamps sufficient to prevent any movement.
6. Reconnect both Backrest Retaining Straps and re-tension as required using the
pull-
tight “D” Rings Fig.4, page 9.
