ADJUSTMENTS
When adapting the chair to suit your sitting position and provide the mobility you require, it is im-
portant that you make the following adjustments in the correct order. First, adjust the sitting position
and after that, adjust the balance of the chair according to your mobility requirements. The sequence
is important since changing your sitting position also changes the balance of the chair.
You should make the following adjustments in this order:
1) The tension of the seat upholstery
2) The height of the footrest
3) The tension of the calf band
4) The angle of the backrest
5) The tension of the backrest upholstery
6) The balance of the wheelchair
1) Tension of the seat upholstery
(Fig. 8)
The rear section of the seat upholstery can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the Velcro band
underneath the seat as shown in fig. 8. This allows you to vary your sitting height by about 2 cm up or
down.
2) Height of the footrest
(Fig. 9 and 10)
The footrest can be adjusted up or down. Remove the two screws supporting the footrest on the front
of the frame as shown in fig. 9 and10, unscrew using a 3 mm socket head key. Push the end plug
down by placing key 19 around the tubing above and tapping down with a hammer. You will then be
able to move the footrest up or down to fit into one of the five alternative height positions. You should
adjust the footrest at a height where your thighs are supported by the seat at the same time as your
feet are supported by the footrest.
