4.3 Adjusting the seat depth  

 

The seat depth can be adjusted from 42cm – 50cm in 2cm 
increments. To adjust the seat depth, unscrew the two cap 
head bolts with a 5mm allen key on the bottom of the back 
rest (on each side of the frame) where it attaches to the wheel-
chair frame. Remove bolts and slide the back rest horizontally 
along frame to desired position. Replace cap head bolts and 
tighten (see fig. 28). 

4.4 Adjusting the back rest angle

The back rest can be adjusted by 0°, 15° or 30°. Please note 
that the back rest angle is the angle from the pre-set angle of 
10.6°. The actual back rest angles are therefore 10.6°, 25.6° 
and 40.6°. To adjust the back rest angle unscrew the cap head 
bolts as per seat depth adjustment (see section 4.3), tilt the 
back rest until the holes line up for either the 15° angle 
adjustment or 30° angle adjustment, refix and tighten cap 
head bolts (see fig. 29).

5.1 Frame number  

 

To ensure the effective continuing service of your wheelchair 
and to ensure your guarantee remains in place you must only 
use authorised spare parts. The model and specification for 
your wheelchair is on the label located on the lower part of the 
left frame (see fig. 30).  

5.2 Transport Kit for vehicles

Your Phönix wheelchair is suitable for use in an appropriate 
vehicle provided the correct equipment is used to secure the 
chair.

You can purchase a Transport Kit from Sumed International 
(UK) Ltd. (see page 3 for contact details) which will provide the 
necessary parts required for compliance with safety standards 
in transportation of wheelchairs. The kit comprises of: 
• 2 brackets which attach to the front of the chair as shown in 
   fig. 31. When a chair is ordered with a Transport Kit,
   these will already be fitted. If a Transport Kit is ordered       
   separately, please refer to the instuctions suplied with the kit.
• 2 brackets which are attached as shown in fig.32. 
   As for the front brackets, these will be fitted when ordered    
 with a wheel chair. Please note that the Transport Kit cannot    
 be used with a seat depth of 48cm or 50cm.
