6 Wheelchair adjustments
Wheelchair adjustments are those components that the user can adjust without
the use of tools. The wheelchair may be fitted with powered and/or mechanical
adjustment options.
Warning
•
The centre of gravity is affected when adjustments are made. Adjustments
should therefore only be made when the wheelchair is on a flat surface.
• Powered adjustments involve parts of the wheelchair moving and/or rotating.
Contact with such moving parts may result in serious physical injury or damage
to the wheelchair. You should avoid any contact with the moving parts of the
wheelchair.
• When adjustments are made, the standard size of the wheelchair increases.
Make sure that the wheelchair does not block any escape routes.
