Foldable backrest (optional)
Folding down/straightening up the back
To fold down the back, grip the strap on the back of the
wheelchair and pull it upwards.
At the same time, push the upper edge of the backrest
forwards.
Push down both side parts (mudguard or clothes-guard)
completely so that the backrest remains fixed in the fold-
down position. The wheelchair can now be lifted using
the stabilizing bar on the backrest.
If a mudguard is fitted, the rear
wheels must be
pulled outwards or removed before the mudguard
can be lowered completely.
To straighten up the backrest, grip the strap on the back
of the wheelchair and pull it upwards.
At the same time, grip the upper edge of the backrest and
straighten it up.
Push the side parts down until they engage.
Put the rear
wheels back on if you removed them.
