Seat with electric tilt adjustment
The seat part of your wheelchair can
be set at an angle that is comfortable
for you. In this adjustment, the angle of
the entire seating system is tilted with
respect to the bottom part of the chair.
Also, this adjustment can be used to
tilt the seating system backward, to
facilitate getting out.
For each degree that the seat is
tilted backward, the seat height is
raised by approximately 5 mm
(1/4").
Adjusting with ‘DX’ control:

controller press the symbol for the
tilting adjustment of the seating
system. The light of the key should

backward.
4. Press the symbol once more to
switch on the function as soon as
