Adjustment instructions
Following the instruction one can adjust the wheelchair oneself in changing circumstances without
having to consult the manufacturer.
Since different people have a different posture and there are big differences between handicaps, it
follows a wheelchair can be adjusted to the individual and not the other way round.
The many adjustment options of such a wheelchair have many benefits for optimising a comfortable
sitting position. However, there is a disadvantage, too:
warning:
The application of injudicious adjustments may have an adverse influence on sitting comfort and the
actual use!
If we assume the wheelchair is properly adjusted when delivered, further adjustment will be needed
in the case of growing up or on medical advice. It also may appear after some practice it is desirable to
adjust certain parts.
On the basis of the following step-by-step instruction the correct adjustment of the wheelchair is
achieved in the most logical and effective manner. For the correct adjustment of the wheelchair to the
needs of the user a correct execution of the steps is required. Every adjustment is dealt with separately.
In actual practice every adjustment affects the sitting position and/or the sitting balance to a certain
degree. Therefore, check after every adjustment whether these have been affected and need to be
corrected.
In the description of the various adjustments hand-tightening of bolts and nuts is used. What is meant
is a tightening moment of 10 Nm.
