5.0 SETTING UP THE SEATING SYSTEM
5.0 Setting up the seating system
The average wheelchair does not exist. This is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be pre-set according to
spec
ifi c needs of the user.
Pre-settings are carried out once, the fi rst time the wheelchair is going to be used. They must be executed
by a qualifi ed specialist, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Tool and calibration marks
A M5 Allen key is supplied with the seating system. This can be used by a Sunrise Medical authorized dealer
for adjusting all the seating system settings.
CAUTION!
There are calibration marks on various parts of the seating system. The factory settings are indicated.
5.1 Pre-set seat depth
Backrest frame depth (Fig. 5.1)

CAUTION!
At SD 21-in and SD 22-in, you have to take out (A) completely and adjust them in the next slot.
CAUTION!
When a bigger seat depth is required, ensure that the harnesses are lengthened before the mechanical
adjustment takes place.
DANGER!
We strongly recommend that you contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer to adjust the seat depth,
because adjusting the seat depth will aff ect the center of gravity.
Seat cushion depth (Fig. 5.2)
For seat cushion position (for seat cushions with built in seat plate) use the holes in Fig. 5.2. The cushion
can be positioned one position more to the front to create extra seat depth.
5.2 Pre-set seat width
To adjust the seat frame width, the seat plate and back frame width need to be adjusted at the same time.
