Invacare® Action Vertic
3.3 Backrest
Fixed backrest do not require adjustment.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
The hanging of additional load (back pack
or similar items) onto your wheelchair back
posts can affect the rearward stability of your
wheelchair. This can cause the chair to tip
backwards causing injury.
– Therefore, Invacare strongly recommend the
use of anti-tippers (available as an option)
when using your back posts with additional
load (back pack or similar items).
3.3.1 Backrest cover
You can adjust the tension of the backrest cover as required.
Adjusting the backrest cover
1. Remove the backrest cushion A .
2. Loosen the hook and loop strips B on the rear of the
backrest cover by simply pulling on them.
3. Tighten or loosen the strips as required then reattach
them.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
If the bands are set very loose, the tipping point
of your wheelchair is changed for the worse.
– Ensure that the bands are set correctly.
IMPORTANT!
– Do not overtighten the bands; this is to ensure
that the geometry of the wheelchair is not
changed.
3.4 Armrests
WARNING!
The armrest does not engage into the wheelchair.
– Therefore do not hold it in order to lift the
wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Risk of pinching
– Keep your fingers away from movable parts
during removing, fitting or adjusting the
armrest.
