Adjusting the seat height

The seat height can easily be adjusted. You can 
also change the angle of the seat by having 
different heights at the front and back. By 
changing the angle of the seat, you can achieve 
better stability and seating comfort. The different 
seat height adjustments also effect the ability to 
negotiate obstacles and rolling properties of the 
wheelchair.

Adjusting the seat height – back 

Figures 21 and 22

The seat height at the back can be adjusted using 
the methods below.

Moving the wheel block up or down

Moving the wheel block up, lowers the seat. 
Moving the wheel block down, raises the seat. See 
page 15.

Changing to bigger or smaller driving wheels

A bigger driving wheel increases the seat height, 
whilst a smaller wheel decreases the height. The 
table on page 31 shows which seat heights can be 
achieved by changing to different sizes of driving 
wheel.
