8 Settings backrest mod. 2
8:4 Backrest upholstery
The contour of the backrest uphol-
stery is individually adjustable by
using the five Velcro straps and the
backrest cover.
-
Allow the cover plenty of
room between seat and back-
rest, so that it is possible to
“sit in” against the backrest.
-
Loosen all straps and ensure
that the user is sitting as far
back in the seat as possible.
Tighten the straps so that
they follow the contours of
the back and give support to
the lumbar region.
Risk of tipping: Always
check the positioning
of the anti-tips after
adjusting the backrest
upholstery.
(!) Do not over-tighten the up-
per Velcro straps as this can
prevent the cross-brace from
unfolding properly, i.e. the
back tubes do not sit flush in
the side-frames.
8:5 Height adjustable push handles
The push handles can be set at intervals
of 2 cm.
-
Loosen the knob (A) and press
the plastic washer.
Install desired height.
-
Ensure that the push handles are
locked in the correct position.
Tighten the knob again.
Ensure that the knobs
are properly tightened.
This is especially impor-
tant if you intend to lift
the wheelchair whilst
the user is sitting in it.
