5.3 Cables and Cable Handles

Maintaining the Cables and Cable Handles

The cables and cable handles do not require any maintenance. Both replacement pieces are

shipped out together fully assembled.

Removing and Installing the Cables and Cable Handles

The cable is used in conjunction with a cable handle and an actuator to control the function of the

gas cylinder. The cable is held in place on the handle end by a cable housing retaining clip. On

the actuator end the cable hooks into the lever that depresses the control pin on the cylinder and

the cable housing clip into the actuator housing.

1. Unclip the cable from the actuator on the cylinder.

2. Cut the cable ties that secure the cable to the frame of the wheelchair (carefully note the

location of the cable ties and how the cable is threaded around the frame of the

wheelchair.)

3. Unscrew the handle from frame using a Phillips screwdriver

4. Remount the new handle assembly to the frame of the wheelchair using the screw

removed in step 3.

5. Feed the new cable around the frame of the wheelchair the same as the previous one

and install new cable ties where necessary.
