6. Electric tilt-in-space and recline
Negative tilt helps the independent user in safely
getting in and out of the wheelchair. Negative tilt
means that the front of the seat cushion is
lowered. This reduces the access height which, in
turn, makes getting in and out easier for the
independent user. The function negative tilt is
activated using the controller.
Recline provides the apple-shaped user with
supported and comfortable seating. When the
back of the wheelchair is tilted backwards, the
pelvis of the user is automatically opened. This
provides improved respiration for apple-shaped
users. The recline function is controlled using the
same controller as for the electric tilt-in-space
function.
Erroneous use of the tilt-in-space and recline
functions can lead to the user experiencing respiratory
difficulties, including users with impaired cognition.
Using the negative tilt function may cause the user
to slide forward.
The battery indicator is shown at the top of the
remote control. Be sure to charge the wheelchair
when the battery flashes in the red box.
The illustrations indicate which functions are
activated by pressing the arrows. The arrows on
the top illustration activate the recline function.
The wheelchair can recline from 90°-120°.
The arrows in the lower illustration activate the
tilt-in-space function from -4°-13°.
In the event of an irregularity, the RESET function
must be activated. Press and hold down the two
arrows, marked with a red dot, for 5 seconds,
after which the various functions can be accessed
again.
After a RESET procedure, it is important to check
that all three actuators are still functional. The
wheelchair can be damaged if, for example, one of
the seat actuators has a loose connection. Such a
loose connection can twist the wheelchair.
Misuse of the RESET button can damage the user
and wheelchair.
