8.5. Backrest 

angle 

 
The backrest sits at an angle of 90° to the seat as standard but can be adjusted in either direction by 
5°.  This adjusting mechanism is not stepless. 
 

•

 

Remove the rear wheels, then remove the skirt guards (see 
Instruction Manual, section 3.1.). 

•

 

Unscrew the countersunk screw on the outer joint using a 4 mm 
Allen key, remove the screw and the bushing (see photo 6) 
before adjusting to the desired position and tightening up the 
countersunk screw. 

 
 
 

Attention: 

Having adjusted the backrest angle, check that the clasp of the folding mechanism 

latches correctly! 

 
 
8.6. The 

footrest 

 
The height of the footrest is not only important for a good sitting position but even more so for the 
standing position. On delivery you will find the footrest at the second lowest position, if not ordered 
specifically. 

•

 

There is a choice of 5 different heights for mounting the 
footrest. 

•

 

Unscrew the four oval head screws on both outer edges of the 
footrest using a 4 mm Allen key and set the footrest either 
higher up or lower down (see photo 7). 

 
 
 
 
 
There are three possible footrest angle variations: 
 

•

 

4° to the horizontal 

•

 

14° to the horizontal (standard) 

•

 

24° to the horizontal 

•

 

Unscrew the four oval head screws on both outer edges of the 
footrest using a 4 mm Allen key and remove the upper ones. 
Setthe footrest at the desired angle and retighten the screws (see 
photo 8).
