Installing the DAESSY Locking Swing-away Mount - DLSA7
Install the Right Angle Tube and Locking Index Clamp

---

The Locking Index Clamp (ICLSA) is attached to the vertical section of the Right Angle Tube and rests on the Locking Swing-Away Outer Piece (LSAOP) with the Locking Pin in one of the three indexing holes. The height of the horizontal section of the Right Angle Tube and the Lock Positions are both adjusted with the Locking Index Clamp. Installation and adjustment has two steps:

• Select the Lock Positions
• Attach the Locking Index Clamp to the Right Angle Tube, adjust the height and set the Lock Positions

Select the Lock Positions

The three holes for the Locking Pin in the Locking Swing-Away Outer Piece (LSAOP) give one position where the mount is locked in front of the user and two positions for the mount to be locked while rotated away. Plugs can be installed in one or two of the Locking Pin holes to reduce the number of lock positions. With all three Locking Pin holes clear there are three possible combinations of In-Use and Swung-Away lock positions.

The Locking Swing Away Index Clamp (ICLSA) holds the spring loaded Locking Pin and is held to the Vertical Tube with a Pinch Clamp. This Pinch Clamp through the ICLSA provides a convenient reference for setting the desired combination of In-Use and Swung-Away positions.

1. When the Pinch Clamp hole is parallel to the wheelchair for the In-Use position the other lock positions are at 90º and 270º away from the user.
2. When the Pinch Clamp hole is perpendicular to the front face of the wheelchair and behind the Vertical Tube for the In-Use position the other lock positions are at 180º and 270º away from the user.
3. When the Pinch Clamp hole is perpendicular to the front face of the wheelchair and ahead of the Vertical Tube for the In-Use position the other lock positions are at 90º and 180º.

Attach the Locking Index Clamp to the Right Angle Tube,
adjust the height and set the Lock Positions

Remove the plastic plug holding the Pinch Clamp in its hole in the Locking Index Clamp (ICLSA) and insert the vertical section of the Right Angle Tube through the ICLSA so that the Locking Pin is on the bottom.

With the Locking Index Clamp about three inches from the end of the tube and the hole for the Pinch Clamp correctly oriented for the select Lock Positions, gently tighten the Pinch Clamp bolt. Insert the tube in the hole in the Locking Swing-Away Outer Piece (LSAOP). Check the height and alignment of the horizontal section of the Right Angle Tube for the In-Use position and tighten the Pinch Clamp bolt.

Caution:

The bolt on the Pinch Clamp should not be excessively tightened. The Pinch Clamp grips the Vertical Tube sufficient to prevent it rotating in the Index Clamp or Horizontal Tube is pushed firmly by a user. By design the Pinch Clamp does not provide an immoveable grip. Extreme tightening of the Pinch Clamp bolt on the Vertical Tube in an attempt to prevent the Horizontal Tube from moving when very forcefully pushed, will crush the tube and jam the Pinch Clamp. DAESSY mounting assemblies are designed to carry the weight of a computer or communication device and are not intended to resist a strong force exerted by the user.

Retract the Locking Pin by lifting the ring attached to the end and rotate the tube away from the In-Use position to confirm the other Lock Positions.

There must be at least two inches of tube below the Locking Index Clamp (ICLSA) to ensure that the Right Angle Tube is fully inserted through the tube hole in the LSAOP. Extra tube length for future vertical adjustments may protrude below the LSAOP provided it does not interfere with the front caster on the wheelchair. If there is interference it may be necessary to rotate the Offset Link to raise the Outer Piece and use a Right Angle Tube with a shorter vertical section.

Do not connect the Release Cable to the Locking Pin at this step.
