6.6.1 Adjusting the back support upholstery
INFORMATION
A well adjusted backrest provides lasting comfort and reduces the risk of secondary damage and pressure zones.
Do not create too much pressure.
INFORMATION
Ensure that the user’s pelvis is positioned as far back in the wheelchair as possible, i.e. between the back tubes.
The backrest cover can be adjusted segment by segment, to meet the needs of the user.
1) Remove the seat cushion.
2) Pull the back padding up and off the hook-and-loop connection on the back upholstery.
3) Loosen the backrest straps and then fasten together with the desired tension (see fig. 18).
4) Put on the backrest padding and attach it to the hook-and-loop fastener on the back upholstery.
5) Put on the seat cushion and secure it with the hook-and-loop fastener.

6.6.2 Adjusting the seat upholstery
The seat upholstery usually does not need to be adjusted during the initial fitting. However, the tension can be
changed.
INFORMATION
You can slightly correct the centre of gravity by making small changes to the dip of the seat upholstery. However,
larger corrections to the centre of gravity must be made by making changes to the settings on the frame, the axle
unit and the caster wheels.
1) Remove the seat cushion and slightly fold the crossbrace.
2) Loosen the hook-and-loop fastener on the underside of the seat upholstery.
3) Adjust the seat upholstery tension.
4) Close the hook-and-loop fastener.
