Figure 2: Backrest screwed permanently onto side
panel, equipped with aluminium side panel
Depending on the equipment, a permanent
adjustment of the backrest of 5° forwards or
backwards is possible using tools however.
This adjustment is not possible when equipped
with a "side part with welded tubular bracket".
This adjustment is possible when equipped
with an "aluminium side guard". For this, there
are three holes in the rear area of the side
panel at the top and an elongated hole at the
bottom to position the backrest tubes. To ad-
just the backrest 5° forwards or backwards,
loosen both M5 fixing screws (AF 3 mm) with
washers on each side and position the fixing
screws with washers in the desired holes at the
top and bottom in the corresponding position in
the elongated hole (same position on the right
and left). Then tighten up the M5 fixing screws
(AF 3 mm) again to 6 Nm and secure them
with thread lock fluid.

17.1.2 Adjustment possibilities with an
adjustable backrest
If equipped with an adjustable and foldable
backrest, the backrest angle can be flexibly
adjusted without using tools and the backrest
can be completely folded away. The angle of
the backrest can be fixed in 7 positions in 5°
steps.
Observe that the centre of gravity is shift-
ed further to the rear by the enlargement of the
angle between the backrest and the seat sys-
tem and thus, the tipping point of the product is
reached much sooner.
17.1.3 Instructions for sitting posture with
an adjustable backrest
For a good sitting posture, we recommend
positioning the backrest vertical to the ground,
where possible.
With low backrests with adaptable belt cover
due to a disability, it may be advantageous to
slightly tilt the backrest forwards and to slacken
the top belt of the backrest upholstery so that
the slack in the upper area is greater in order
to achieve good sitting stability under certain
circumstances (see chapter 17.2).
The adjustment possibility of the backrest an-
gle supports active sitting and ensures for flex-
ibility of the wheelchair user.
17.1.4 Adjusting the backrest angle or
folding down the backrest with an
adjustable backrest
To
adjust the backrest
, relieve it (otherwise
there is a risk of tipping) and then loosen the
locking pins that engage in the locking holes of
the side sections on the left and right. For this
purpose, grasp under the seat cover and in the
middle, pull the cord to the front that is linked
to the locking pin.
A stop pin may be mounted in the backrest
angle
adjustment range
as a limiter.
