6.6 Backrest
Adjusting the backrest upholstery
Adjust the tension of the backrest´s top-belt
Tear both Velcroed halves of the top belt apart (Fig.6.21)
Tension the top-belt or remove tension. Once the desired
strain is set, Velcro both halves back together.
In case of the top-belt laterally protruding over the push-
handles, the belt can be cut to size with a pair of scissors.
Cut the belt between the grey stitching. The stitching will
prevent the belt from fraying.
Note for wheelchairs with fold-down push-handles
Do not use the Velcro-laces around the push-handles to
set the strain of the belt (Fig.6.22). Those must be
Velcroed to the top-belt using their full length.
Adjust the tension of the backrest-belts
Tension of the backrest-belts can be continuously
adjusted using the Velcro-laces.
Delivery state, the Velcro-laces overlap by 20mm
(Fig.6.23). This overlap allows you to adjust slack on the
backrest-upholstery
When further tensioning the belts, the ends can laterally
protrude. In these cases, the belts can be cut to size with
a pair of scissors. Cut the belt between the black
stitching. The stitching will prevent the belt from fraying.
CAUTION!
Please note that the tipping behaviour of the wheelchair
will change if the backrest angle or backrest upholstery
has been altered. This may mean that you need to use
anti-tip tubes.
Angle-adjustable fixed back
The angle-adjustable backrest can be adjusted in seven
positions in 5° increments.
By removing the nut (1) and the bolt, the angle can be
adjusted to the desired angle.
Make sure to tighten the nut to the specified torque after
the adjustment (Fig. 6.24).
WARNING!
For your own safety, adjustment work should always be
carried out by your dealer.
