Fitting the DAESSY Rear Folding Mount - DRFM6
Determining the Side Tube length and Offset Links required
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 RFA and Side Tube away from the side of the wheelchair with Frame Clamp Spacers, or by adding an S-bend to the Side Tube.
Length of Side Tube – T
The length of the Side Tube is measured from the intended location of the Rear Folding Adapter (RFA) 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, which should be specified in orders for the number of Offset Links (O3L), required is the distance between the location of the Frame Clamp Inner Piece (UFCxxxxIP) and the Rear Folding Adapter (RFA). The RFA itself spans a distance of 3 inches and each additional Offset Link adds another 3 inches.
| Distance between IP and RFA | Number of O3L required |
| 0" to 3" | none |
| 3" to 6" | 1 |
| 6" to 9" | 2 |
| More than 9" | Check with DAESSY |
