4. ACCESSORIES
This section briefly describes the accessories that are available for HD Balance. They are all CE labelled
and approved for use with the wheelchair. More information about the respective accessories is
available as information sheets. Instructions on how accessories are installed can be found in the
respective accessory installation instructions.

wheelchair is then considered a custom product, read more in
2.2. General Safety Aspects.
4.1 Headrest / Neck rest
The headrest (Diagram 33) and neck rest (Diagram 34) each consist of
two parts: an extension tube (1, Diagrams 33 & 34) and a cushion with
a headrest tube (2). The cushion is slightly smaller on the neck rest
than on the headrest.
Set the tube in the bracket (3 in Diagrams 33 & 35) on the rear of the
back by sliding it down through the sleeve to the desired position and
tighten the knob (7, Diagram 35).
Note: Do not tighten too hard as the knob and bracket can be damaged.
LATERAL ADJUSTMENT:
If necessary, some models of headrests and neck rests can be adjusted
laterally to suit the user’s head position.
- Loosen the screws (6 in Diagrams 33 & 34).
- Move the headrest to the desired position and tighten the screws.
The cushion is shaped to provide support at the base of the skull so
that the head can be positioned in a balanced comfortable position.
LATERAL SUPPORT FOR THE HEADREST & NECKREST
Some models of headrests/neck rests can be equipped with one or
two removable lateral supports (4, Diagram 33) to increase lateral
stability. In this case the back of the main headrest is fitted with 2
stand sleeves (5) to adjust the positions of the lateral supports.
- Do not hang things on the headrest/neck rest.
- Some users with particular/involuntary movements might risk to get
caught between the rest and the wheelchair. Individual assessments
must be done to determine what type of support is suitable.
4.2 Bag hook
The bag hook (1, Diagram 36) is mounted on the operating handle
tube (2) under the operating handle joint (3). The hook is clamped to
the pipe by tightening the screw (4).
On installation and use of the bag hook, ensure that the brake cables
(5) are not damaged.
- A maximum of 5kg total may be hung on the bag hook.
- When bags etc. are hung on the bag hook the risk increases of tipping
backwards. How much depends on the weight and the back-and seat
angle settings.
- It is the responsibility of the caregiver/user to check the risk of tipping
and to make sure the antitip devices are used.
