1) Seat height
You can adjust the height of the seat on the wheel-
chair. Do this by loosening the bolts (1) attaching
the back of the chair to the frame of the chassis
as shown in fi gure 2. You should also loosen the
clamps slightly (2) which fasten the seat section to
the frame of the chair as shown in fi gure 4. You will
now be able to pull the seat up and down until you
fi nd a suitable seat height. Tighten the bolts.

ing the seat section to the frame of the chair (2) as

Adaptation
When adapting the chair to suit your sitting position and provide the mobility you
require, it is important that you make the following adjustments in the correct or-
der. First, adjust the sitting position and after that adjust the balance of the chair ac-
cording to your mobility requirements. This sequence is important since when you
change your sitting position in the chair you also change the balance of the chair.
You should make the following adjustments in this order:
1) Seat height
2) Seat angle
3) Tension of the seat upholstery
4) Position of the footrest
5) Angle of the backrest
6) Tension of the backrest upholstery
7) Balancing of the wheelchair
8) Wheel base
5) Angle of the backrest
Adjust the angle of the backrest by fi rst loosening the bolts which are secured
to the back tubing and the seat section (4) as shown in fi gure 3.
When these bolts have been loosened on both sides you will be able to move
the backrest backwards and forwards.
Test different positions until you fi nd a suitable backrest angle, then adjust the
adjustment screws and tighten the bolts through the back tubing and the seat
section. Do this on both sides.
Make sure the backrest is straight when the bolts have been tightened.
6) Tension of the back upholstery
The back upholstery can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the Velcro band at
the back.

3) Tension of the seat upholstery
The rear section of the seat upholstery can be made tighter or looser by adjusting
the Velcro band underneath the seat. This allows you to vary your sitting height by
about 2 cm up or down.
4) Position of the footrest
The footrest can be adjusted up or down. Remove
the two screws (5) on the front of the frame attach-
ing the footrest, unscrew these using a 3 mm socket
head key as shown in fi gure 4. You will then be
able to move the footrest up or down to fi t into one
of the fi ve alternative height positions. You can also
turn the footrest round if this is more comfortable.
You should adjust the footrest at a height where
your thighs are supported by the seat at the same
time as your feet are supported by the footrest.
