9 Settings backrest/headrest
9:7 Bow handle (option)
The bow handle is height adjustable
and detachable.
It is mounted in the push handle attach-
ment, and is adjusted in the same way
as the height-adjustable push handles.
It is also possible to mount a headrest
on the bow handle.
9:6 Height adjustable push handles
The push handles can be set at intervals
of 2 cm.
Loosen the knob (A) and press the plas-
tic washer. Install desired height.
Ensure that the push handles are locked
in the correct position. Tighten the
knobs.
Ensure that the knobs are prop-
erly tightened. This is especially
important when the chair is to be
lifted with the user sitting in it.

erly tightened. This is especially

The bow handle must be re-
moved before the chair can
be folded.
9:8 Headrest
The headrest is mounted on the back
pad or bow handle (option). A separate
attachment is required for a bow handle.
It is adjustable in height, depth and
angle, and is detachable.
(!)
Before adjusting the headrest,
ensure that the user has a
good, secure sitting posture.
Check the balance of the
wheelchair when the user leans
against the headrest. We rec-
ommend the use of anti-tips.
- Tighten the straps so that they follow
the contours of the back and give sup-
port to the curve of the back.
Risk of tipping: Always check the
positioning of the anti-tips after
adjusting the backrest upholstery.
(!)
Do not overtighten the upper straps as
this can prevent the cross-brace from
unfolding properly, i.e. the back tubes
do not sit flush in the side-frames.
9:5 Settable cloth 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 be-
tween seat and backrest, 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.
