Q. Backrest
WARNING: Do not lift the wheelchair by the release bar (Fig. 14:A). Lifting the wheelchair
by the release bar may cause parts to fail which could cause a fall resulting in serious
injury or death.

a fall which could result in serious injury or death.
How to Use the Folding Backrest

fold downwards towards the seat frame (Frame 15). To latch back into place, pull the back
release bar outward and the back will release and can be pushed into the upright position.
The backrest will automatically latch onto the side frame.

upright position.
