3.8 Backrest Height
The backrest height can be adjusted approximately 6 cm in the tracks
where the back support is secured. This requires a 10mm spanner. The
procedure is the type of back support (Flexi-back or Solid back).
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE BACKREST:
- Loosen the two nuts on each side a few turns (1 in Figure 17).
- Push the backrest up or down to the desired height.
- Tighten the nuts securely.
- Check carefully that all cables are whole and in place.
3.9 Setting the Flexi-back
Guide for setting the Flexi-back:
1.
Before the user sits in a wheelchair;
a. Loosen the straps thoroughly.
b. Make sure the back cushion is properly positioned in the seat.
See instructions in
3.6 Cushions and covers
.
c. Loosen the nuts for height adjustment of the Flexi-back.
2.
Positioning the user;
a. When lifting the user into the chair, tilt the seat unit backward.
In many cases it can be helpful to recline the backrest slightly.
b. Position the user fully in to the wheelchair, between the side
tubes of the frame. This is required in order to form the Flexi-
back properly to the user’s back
3.
With the user sitting in the wheelchair;
a. Set the backrest at the desired height.
b. Adjust the velcro straps to support the user’s back.
c. Tighten the nuts for the seat back height adjustment.
