Seat Depth and Angle Adjustment
Warnings:
- If performed correctly and with caution, seat depth and angle adjustments may be made while the individual is in the wheelchair. If you find seat depth and angle
adjustments too difficult or unsafe to make while the individual is in the wheelchair, have the individual transfer safely out of the wheelchair.
- If you choose to adjust the seat depth and angle of the AGILITY while the individual is seated in the wheelchair, you must first take the following safety
precautions:
» Make sure the wheelchair wheels are locked.
» Make sure that both safety locks are in the LOCKED ( ) position. To test the locks, use the handle to pull up on the AGILITY. IMPORTANT! DO NOT use the
handle to pull the wheelchair while the individual is seated in the wheelchair. The handle is intended only to assist with installing and removing the AGILITY.
» Make sure both latches are fully closed. If the latches will not close, or if the hooks will not rest completely on the pins, see "Troubleshooting".
» Make sure that all hardware is securely tightened. Refer to the recommended torque specifications.
Note: Before you adjust the seat depth and angle of an AGILITY, install the AGILITY on the wheelchair. See "AGILITY Installation".
To Adjust the Seat Depth
1. Make sure the width/height adjustment nuts are completely
tightened. See "AGILITY Installation".
2. Use the Allen wrench to loosen the depth/angle adjustment
bolts, approximately three (3) full rotations.
3. Slide the back shell forward or backward to the desired depth.
Note: If the triangle bracket will not slide, see "Troubleshooting".
4.
IMPORTANT! To make sure the depth positions on both
sides are equal, compare the markers on the tops of the
triangle brackets.

5. If the AGILITY is not yet adjusted to the desired
angle, continue to the next section, "To Adjust the
Angle".
6. If the AGILITY is already adjusted to the desired
angle:
While you hold the back shell in position, use the
Allen wrench to tighten the right and left depth/
angle adjustment bolts, turning until snug + one-
quarter turn.
Note: If a torque wrench is available, tighten the
bolts to 60 ± 4 inch-pounds (7 ± 0.5 Newton
meters).
