Technical Information
2.4 Gas springs for seat tilt and back recline
Both gas springs are equipped with release mechanisms, with the cable for control attached as seen in
Figures 3 and 4. The gas springs are activated from the cable controls on the push bar - back recline on
the left side, seat tilt on the right side.
2.5 Adjustment of seat zero position
The gas spring for seat tilt is mounted in holder (Figure 3) which allow for adjustment of the zero
position of the seat. Adjustment is done as follows:
1. Set the seat tilt all the way forward, which is to say the gas spring fully in, see Figure 3.
2. Loosen the nut (6) a few turns so that the gas spring is not held fast in the holder (15).
3. Loosen the nut (7) a few turns so that the gas spring can move in the holder.
4. Adjust the seat to the desired position. Depending on the wheels and tires, it can be adjusted
between approximately -5° and +3°.
5. Tighten the nut (7) firmly.
6. Tighten the nut (6) just enough that the gas spring cannot rattle in the holder.
7. Tilt the wheelchair to check that the desired positioning has been set.
