6.3 Adjusting the Back Depth and Form
The back’s form can be adjusted to suit the individual user’s requirements for support and ba-
lance. The Velcro straps under the back upholstery are used to adjust the back´s form.
• Fold up the back of the backrest upholstery to make the Velcro straps visible (Image 15).
• Loosen or tighten individual straps so that the back’s form suits the user’s requirements
(Image 16).
•
Fold down the back upholstery and secure it to the straps.
Adjustments to the back form and depth affects the benefit the user gets from the chair
substantially. Wolturnus A/S recommends that the form and the depth are initially adjusted
with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or from the user’s therapist.

• Press the spring lock in and either raise or lower the height bar for the back (Image 17).
• To adjust the height even further, the height bar can be removed and reversed (image 18).
•

6.5 Adjusting the Seat Length
When delivered, the seat length has been adjusted according to the measurement provided in
the customer´s order form, but it can be adjusted if required.
• Remove the seat cushion and release the seat cover from the Velcro straps. (Image 19).
• Push or pull the seat cover into the desired position (Image 20).

When the seat and/or the back upholstery straps have been adjusted, the wheelchair’s point
of gravity may have shifted, which may create a risk of backward tipping. Therefore, after
adjusting the seat and/or bthe ack upholstery, check the point of gravity and, if necessary,
adjust it before using the chair. (See section 6.7).
