Installation
WARNING: DO NOT use the TB3 Quick Release Amputee during transfers. It is NOT intended to support the weight
of the user.
WARNING: If the tole lever is not closed (pointing downward), the Amputee Pad will move freely and will NOT stay
in position. Before using this product, make sure the tole lever points downward and is completely closed.
1. To attach the Interlock Clamp to the Amputee Pad, first locate the desired set of holes* in the Amputee Pad. Then use
the screws [F] and the ⁄” hex key to loosely attach the two parts of the Interlock Clamp [E] to the Amputee Pad [D].
*Some wheelchairs will require mounting the clamps using the holes located 3⁄” from the front of the Amputee Pad.
These holes may be covered. It may be necessary to puncture the cover fabric to access the holes.
2. Insert the tube of the Knuckle Assembly [A] into the Interlock Clamp [E] at the desired depth. Tighten the two screws
[F] using the ⁄” hex key. Tighten the two locking screws [G] using the 3mm hex key.
- Make sure the tole and the silver knob on the Knuckle Receiver [B] face the outside of the Amputee Pad [D].
- Make sure the tole lever is pointed down.
3. Attach the L-Bracket [C] to the Knuckle Receiver [B], using the two screws [H] and the 4mm hex key.
4. Attach the Pad/Hardware Assembly to the chair rail, using the two screws [J], the double nut [K], and the 4mm hex key.
5. Check to make sure the Amputee Pad [D] is parallel with the seat cushion and is at the correct depth. If depth adjustment
and/or side rotation is required, use the ⁄” hex key to loosen the screws [F], adjust as needed, and retighten the screws.
6. To adjust the up/down angle of the Amputee Pad [D], open the tole and adjust as needed. Lock in place by closing the
tole. Make sure the tole lever is pointed down.
