Caution:
The Swing Aside Mount can support equipment that is heavy enough to unbalance an unoccupied or lightweight manual wheelchair when swung out to the side.
It is recommended to remove the device and/or mount before the wheelchair is vacated.
The hori ontal tube assembly is pre-installed; tube length cannot be changed after ordering. Standard length 16”. Contact Daedalus Technologies for more
information.

Assembly Instructions
The Frame Clamp Assembly
This step requires 2 components:
•Frame Clamp (UFCxxxxIP)
•RFCR
The Frame Clamp varies depending on the type of wheelchair, it may not be exactly as shown, “Frame
Clamp” most commonly refers to UFCxxxxIP, but there are others all of which will include IP or IPA in
their part code. These instructions are
specific to mounts with a UFCxxxxIP;
other types of frame clamps will include
separate assembly instructions. Identify
the Frame Clamp and the RFCR.
•Remove the cap from the Frame
Clamp.
•Remove the Swivel Clamp from
the RFCR.
Align the grooves on the RFCR with the grooves on the frame clamp (photo below left). Put the non-
threaded half of the swivel clamp into the RFCR (with the bolts pushed through). Put the threaded half
into the Frame Clamp body and begin tightening the bolts, alternating between the two. Do not fully
tighten the bolts. The RFCR and the UFCxxxxIP should be able to swivel freely. See photos below.

Attach Frame Clamp Assembly to Wheelchair Frame
This step requires 2 components:
•Wheelchair
•Frame Clamp Assembly
Find the location on the wheelchair to attach the Frame Clamp Assembly
(this should have been identified prior to ordering); most often the
location will be either near the front caster wheel or on the seat frame.
Make sure the location is part of the wheelchair frame, not a movable
attachment like the footrest.
At the selected location; fit the Frame Clamp Assembly around the tube.
Replace the bolts and gently tighten them, do NOT fully tighten them at
this time. The frame clamp “cap” should face towards the inside of the
wheelchair.
Orient Frame Clamp Assembly
The most common option is to assemble this mount with the
Blue Handle at the top (pointing upwards). The Frame Clamp
“Cap” must be on the inside and the RFCR on the outside of
the chair (as shown in the photos to right). All bolts should
still be loose enough to allow adjustment.
Attach the ROP to the Vertical S-bend Tube.
Using one finger, align the Pinch Clamp with the inside of the
tube-hole in the ROP. Slide the ROP onto the tube to the
desired position, and then tighten the Pinch Clamp.

Align the Frame Clamp Assembly
This step requires 3 components:
•Wheelchair
•Frame Clamp Assembly (loosely attached to chair)
•Vertical S-bend Tube (ROP Attached)
Slide the Vertical S-Bend Tube into the Frame Clamp Assembly. Use the tube as a lever in the outer
piece to align the Frame Clamp Assembly.
Sideways alignment: Hold the Vertical S-Bend Tube parallel to the
wheelchair and tighten the Frame Clamp “Cap” bolts alternating between
each bolt.
When completely tight there should be a gap of 1/32” to 1/64” between the Cap & Body of
the frame clamp on round tube. A larger gap indicates
the frame clamp may be too small for the tube. If there
is no gap and the inner piece does not clamp the
wheelchair tube firmly; up to 4 layers of aluminum foil
may be wrapped around the wheelchair tube, however
if more layers are needed it indicates the frame clamp
is too large. Contact Daedalus Technologies for
information on adapter sleeves.
Forward/Backward Alignment
Align the Vertical S-Bend Tube then carefully remove the tube to access the
Swivel Clamp bolts taking care not to move the RFCR. Alternate between
the two bolts several times, tightening each one until the two bolts are as
tight as possible.
Adjust the height and S-bend orientation
Loosen the Pinch Clamp on the ROP. Adjust the Vertical S-Bend tube to
correct height and orientation. Tighten the Pinch Clamp.
Caution:
The bolt on the Pinch Clamp should not be excessively tightened. The Pinch Clamp grips the Vertical S-Bend tube sufficient to prevent it rotating in the Index
Clamp or Removable Outer Piece when the 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 S-Bend 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.

Setting the Swing Aside Direction
The DAESSY Swing Aside Mount is shipped with the Rotate Head setup
for installation on the Right side of a wheelchair. If necessary follow the
below steps to change for Left side installation.
Remove the center bolt from the blue direction pin.
Remove the pin, rotate it 180°until the diamond (◊) is positioned under the
‘L’, re-insert the pin.
Reinstall the center bolt and tighten snug but not too tight.
Install Horizontal Tube Assembly
The Swing Aside Rotate Assembly has three
lock-pin position holes around the silver collar.
The mount is shipped with the attached tube
positioned with the lock-pin in the center
position hole; this is the “in-use” position.
Remove the packing material from the tube hole
retaining the Pinch Clamp. Be careful not to
lose the Pinch Clamp.
Slide the Assembly onto the top of the Vertical
Tube. The Pinch Clamp must be aligned in its
hole so that it is even with the inside of the tube
hole to allow the tube to slide through
completely. Gently tighten the Pinch Clamp bolt.
Adjust the positioning of the Assembly so the lock-pin position holes
are oriented with one facing forward, one towards the inside of the
wheelchair, and one facing rearward. The assembly is shipped such
that this will position the horizontal tube across the chair (“in-use”
position).
Tighten the Pinch Clamp bolt firmly.

Install the Total Quick Release Base – TUSB
Remove the foam plug retaining the Pinch Clamp in its hole in the TUSB and slide it onto the Horizontal
Tube. The Pinch Clamp must be aligned in its hole so that it is even with the inside of the tube hole to
allow the tube to slide through.
1. Loosen the cable anchor bolt and slide the anchor off the end of the horizontal
tube.
2. Slide the TUSB onto the Horizontal
Tube. The Pinch Clamp must be aligned
in its hole so that it is even with the inside
of the tube hole to allow the tube to slide
through.
3. Position the angle of the quick release base and tighten the
Pinch Clamp bolt firmly to hold the TUSB in place.
4. Reinstall the cable anchor and firmly tighten the anchor bolt.
Quick Release Orientation
The Total Quick Release Base can be clamped at any location
along the Horizontal Tube and may be rotated around the tube to
place the mounted device at any angle. The normal orientation for
the TUSB is with the Locking Pin positioned away from the user. Adapters and Holders that attach
devices and computers onto the TUSB are assembled for this orientation.
Final Adjustments
Ensure that all of the fasteners are tight including; frame clamp, swivel clamp, and pinch clamp.
