Fitting the DAESSY Lockable Rear Folding Mount - DLRFM8
Determining the Side Tube length and the Offset Links
Complete information on the range of options available for non-standard tubes is found in S-Tubes, Frame Clamp Spacers, and Offset Links.
Obstructions to movement of the Side Tube
As the Side Tube moves along the side of the wheelchair during the folding sequence it must not contact or interfere with any other fittings on the wheelchair. Obstructions may be avoided by moving the LRFA and Side Tube away from the side of the wheelchair with Frame Clamp Spacers, or by adding an S-bend to the Side Tube. Adding a Removable Frame Clamp Insert and Receiver will also increase the clearance of the Side Tube away from the side of the wheelchair.
Length of Side Tube – T
The length of the Side Tube is measured from the intended location of the Locking Rear Folding Adapter (LRFA) to the required location of the Horizontal Tube supporting the device. This is the measurement T that should be specified in orders.
Offset Links required – L
The measurement L is the distance between the location of the Inner Piece (UFCxxxxIP or XXX / IPA) and the Locking Rear Folding Adapter (LRFA). This distance should be specified in orders to determine the number of Offset Links needed. The LRFA itself spans a distance of 3 inches and each additional Offset Link adds another 3 inches
| Distance between IP and LRFA | Number of O3L required |
| 0" to 3" | none |
| 3" to 6" | 1 |
| 6" to 9" | 2 |
| More than 9" | Check with DAESSY |
