SETTINGS
Adjusting the tension of the backrest upholstery
:
1) Lift up the backrest upholstery’s upper flap (1).
2) Loosen the bands.
3) Sit as far back in the chair as you can. If it feels as though you are not sitting far back
enough in the chair, it may be because the backrest upholstery’s lower flap is fastened
too far forward on the seat Loosen the flap (2) and then fasten it further back on the seat
upholstery.
4) Tighten the bands to ensure you have the necessary support.
5) Fold down the backrest upholstery’s upper flap (1).
6) The balance of the wheelchair
(Fig. 11)
The Panthera X has a fixed rear axle so balancing is achieved by moving the body posi
-
tion in relation to the rear axle. This can be done by moving the backrest which can be
fixed in 4 different positions. The further back you mount the backrest, the more likely your
chair will tip over backward. This means that the chair is light at the front and you have
more weight over the rear wheels. The chair is easier
to drive and it is also easier to tip up onto the rear wheels to negotiate curbs and steps.
The chair should not be balanced with the backrest too far back, however, because of the
danger of tipping over.
