Anterior tilt
Figure 14. Anterior tilt.
The following section only applies to wheelchairs equipped with
anterior tilt.
The anterior tilt function is only available on wheelchairs equipped
with a powered seat lift and seat tilt.
The anterior tilt function has programmable positions to meet
individual needs. Typical tilt positions are: 10°, 20° and 30° – 45°.
• 10° makes it easier to reach objects, for instance on a table (A).
• 20° extends your reach further (A).
• 30° – 45° makes it easier to transfer into and out of the seat; the
footplates are lowered to floor level in these positions (B).
When the seat is being tilted forwards or backwards, it will stop
when it reaches a pre-programmed position or a neutral, not tilted,
position. In order to continue the movement forwards or backwards
from a position, press the button or repeat the joystick manoeuvre
again. The tilt angle may vary depending on how the anterior tilt is
programmed and if any positioning limitations apply.
