3.7 Seat tilt and Back recline
Figure 16 shows the wheelchair in back reclined and seat tilted positions.
- The controls should be handled with moderate force and should
always be used one at a time,
never
both at the same time.
- Never hang items on the levers.
SEAT TILT
The seat tilt is controlled by the green lever on the right side of
the push bar,
1
in Figure 15. As standard, the seat can be tilted
continuously between 0° and 30°.
A gas cylinder provides supporting force when tilting backward. Note that the seat will feel heavy to
tilt forward if no one is sitting in the wheelchair.
OPERATING THE SEAT TILT:
- Grip the push bar with both hands.
- Release the lock by pressing the green lever down gently, hold it down.
- Push on the push bar to set the desired seat tilt, release the green lever.
BACK RECLINE
The back recline angle is controlled by the gray lever on the left side of the push bar,
2
in Figure 15. As
standard the back can be reclined continuously between 90° and 120°.
A gas cylinder provides supporting force when tilting forward. Note that this means the back will feel
heavy to recline backward if no one is sitting in the wheelchair.
OPERATING THE BACK RECLINE:
- Grip the push bar with both hands.
- Release the lock by pressing the gray lever down gently, hold it down.
- Push on the push bar to set the desired back recline angle, release the gray lever.
- Risks exist for some accessories when adjusting recline angle. For example pinching towards the table
when raising the back. Similar risks also appear for belt, pommel and hemiplegic armrest.
