Recliner is a manual, folding, lightweight wheelchair, suitable for frequent
users who require a lightweight, portable wheelchair, fitted to their anatomy, without the need
of customization or alteration to the center of gravity. The Advantage Recliner is intended for
indoor and / or outdoor use. The Advantage Recliner comes with a higher back and removable full
support headrest which includes an additional neck support that adjusts easily to fit every need.
Anti-tippers and a spreader bar are standard.
The person performing adjustments on the Advantage Recliner has the responsibility of making
certain that the user can safely operate the wheelchair with the adjustments selected. This
person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment in which the
wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will travel. We recommend the
use of anti-tippers at all times.
