7:4 Backrest upholstery
The contour of the backrest upholstery is individually adjustable by using
the five Velcro straps and the backrest cover.
-
Allow the cover plenty of room between seat and backrest, so that
it is possible to “sit in” against the backrest.
-
Loosen all the 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 upper 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.
7:5 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 im-
portant if you intend to lift the wheelchair whilst the user is sitting in
it.
7:6 Cross brace, backrest (standard on Cross XL)
A cross brace is fitted to the backrest for extra stability. The cross brace is
fixed to the push handles and can easily be removed using the snap lock.
The cross brace must be uncoupled if the chair is to be folded.
7:7 Bow handle
The steering bar is height adjustable and detachable. It is mounted in the
push handle attachment, and is adjusted in the same way, see point 7:5. A
headrest may also be fitted to the steering bar, see part “Assembly instruc-
tions, Accessories”.
The steering bar must be removed before the chair can be folded.
Ensure that the knobs are properly tightened. This is especially
important if you intend to lift the wheelchair whilst the user is
sitting in it.
