Wolturnus Rex 350 User’s Manual 2019

Power Wheelchair

Adjustment and set-up

6.3 Adjusting back depth and form

The back’s form can be adjusted to suit the individual user’s requirements for support and balance. The Velcro 

straps under the back upholstery are used to adjust it.

• 

Fold up the back of the backrest upholstery so that the Velcro straps are visible (image 6).

• 

Loosen or tighten individual straps so that the back’s form suits the user’s requirements (image 6). 

• 

Fold down the back upholstery and secure it to the straps.

Adjustment of the back form and depth greatly affects the benefit the user gets from the chair. Wolturnus A/S 

recommends that form and depth are initially adjusted with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or from 

the user’s therapist.

 Image 6 Fold the back of the upholstery 

 

 

 

When the seat and/or 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 back uphol-

stery, check the point of gravity and, if necessary, adjust it before using the chair. (See section 6.10).
