IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
BB. Power Tilt (Continued)
2. Pulling the hand control toggle switch up will tilt the chair (Fig. 40).
3. Pushing the hand control toggle switch down will undo the tilt (Fig. 40).
NOTE: The power tilt motor has limits set to protect the system if too much energy is
required to change the tilt angle. If a limit is triggered, the motor will reset to an active
state within a few seconds. These same limits are responsible for the motor discontinuing
when the rotary frame reaches the maximum tilt range or a tilt stop. Power tilt chairs with
recline are more susceptible to a motor reaching a limit and discontinuing when the client
is reclined because the center of gravity has changed. It may be necessary to reduce the
recline angle of the client for the motor to operate normally.
Rotating Toggle Switch Hand Control (Fig. 41)
1. Loosen bolt holding clamp and hardware to the toggle switch until the toggle control can be
detached using a 10mm wrench.
2. Rotate the toggle switch 90° so toggle switch is perpendicular with the armrest.
3. Reinstall the toggle switch onto the clamp hardware assembly and secure by tightening bolt
with a 10mm wrench.
4. Now, pulling the hand control toggle switch back will tilt the chair and pushing the switch
forward will undo the tilt.
