4.4. Armrests
4.4.1 Height of the armrests
You can easily adjust the height of the armrest. To do so, pull the height
adjustment lever on the side part and pull the armrest up or down
(Fig. 15). When you release the lever, the armrest latches automatically.
4.4.2 Position of the armrests
You can shift the armrests further forwards or backwards. To do this
you operate the knob located at the side of the armrest and pull this
towards the front or the back. When you let go of the knob, the armrest
automatically locks into position.
4.5. Seat
4.5.1 Seat depth
The seat depth can be adjusted in five steps. This allows the seat depth
to be changed up to 50 cm. First remove the side part bracket and the
backrest bracket by loosening the fastening screws (fig. 17).
Caution. Danger of tipping! If you adjust the
driving wheel forwards or the backrest backwards,
the danger of tipping is increased significantly.
Anti-tip wheels or a wheelbase extension are
necessary. Check the settings first with a
helper. Only use settings that you feel safe with.

Afterwards, remove the Allen bolts at the back on the seat cover
(fig. 18).
Pull the adapter out to the required position and then retighten the
bolt. Then pull back the rear part of the seat cover and connect this
again with the front seat cover using the Velcro tape (fig. 19).
Reattach the backrest to the wheelchair frame. Position it as close as
possible to the seat. Afterwards, mount the bracket so that the side
parts click into place correctly.
For your safety, please use the wheelbase extention
when the largest adjustments for seat depth 50 cm
are used.
4.5.2 Seat height
In only a few steps you can adjust the seat height to suit your needs.
1. Drive wheel height
Take off the drive wheel (see 4.11) to make it easier. To adjust the
height of the drive wheel and, consequently, to raise or lower the
height of the whole wheelchair, you first have to remove the drive
wheel brackets. You can loosen the fastening nuts of the axle bracket
with a spanner (fig. 20).
Now you can remove the bracket and fasten it at the desired height.
Screw the nut tight again and fasten the drive wheel.
