9. Seatback
9.1 Backrest
Tilty’s complete back-seat-unity is
adjustable in its angle by 30°. This
tilt-position will be effected by
means of a gas pressure spring
(two as an option) whose release
lever is situated on the sliding
handles. Tilty’s standard design
includes a back cover cloth and its
seatback is equipped with a
stabilizing rod in order to optimize
the wheelchair’s vertical stability. Another standard feature of Tilty is the feasibility of
adjusting the complete seatback backwards in its angle by 40° and of folding it
forwards for transport (see pages 9, 15-16). Yet, numerous options are available for
equipping your Tilty exactly according to your needs. They are all depicted below.
9.2 Tilt-position of seat-unity by 30°
The tilt-position of the seat-back-unity is effected by means
of the gas pressure spring’s release lever, situated on the
sliding handles or sliding clamp. Pull the lever and get the
seat-unity with pulled lever in the needed position. Then let
go the release lever.
For re-setting the backrest upright, once again pull the lever
and at the same time pull up the seat on the sliding
handles. The gas pressure spring is the ideal supporting
device for this procedure and it will hardly take physical
strength.
Urgent safety precaution
NEVER tilt your seat WITHOUT active overturning protection, i.e. supporting wheel as tilt
guard – otherwise the wheelchair might turn over backwards.
NEVER tilt your seat as you are wheeling the chair – the sudden change of centre-of-
gravity-condition might result in loss of control and both the user and the companion
will be extremely endangered.
