4 Operating the electrical adjustment options
Not every wheelchair has been equipped with electric adjustment options. We make a distinction
between four different adjustment options to the seating system:
• Tilt
adjustments
• High/low adjustments
• Backrest adjustments
• Legrest adjustments
4.1 Selecting the desired adjustment option
1. Press the ‘adjustment’ button (E in fi gure 3) to select the ‘adjustment options’ mode. The
‘adjustment option’ mode starts with the seating function that was last selected. The LED light
indicates what electrical adjustment option is enabled (1, 2, 3 or 4).
2. Use the ‘adjustment option’ button or joystick to switch between the electrical adjustment options
(‘+’ / right for the next seating function and ‘-’ / left for the previous seating function).
3. Moving the joystick forwards and/or backwards will activate the selected electric adjustment option
(see table 4). Move the joystick forwards or backwards until the desired adjustment option has
been attained.
Move joystick backwards Move joystick forwards
Tilt adjustment The entire chair will tilt
backwards The entire chair will tilt forwards
High/low adjustments The entire chair will be raised The entire chair will be lowered
Backrest adjustments The backrest will tilt backwards The backrest will tilt forwards
Legrest adjustments The legrest angle will increase,

4. To return to the ‘drive’ mode: Press the ‘speed regulator’ button (F in fi gure 3).
Note: If you adjust the seat height by using the high/low option, the speed will be reduced due to
safety reasons.
