Options – Seat Belt
Height-Adjustable Push Handles
(7.90)
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out unintentionally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes it
possible to adjust the push
handles to meet your individual
needs. As you move the lever, you
will hear a locking mechanism; you
may now easily position the push
handle as desired. The nut (2) on
the tension lever determines how
tightly the push handles are
clamped into place. If the nut is loose after adjust-
ing the tension lever, the push handle will also be
too loose. Turn the push handle from side to side
before use to make sure that it is clamped securely
enough into place. After adjusting handle height,
always clamp the tension lever (1) securely into
place. If the lever is not secure, injuries could result
when lifting over obstacles.

Seat Belt (7.92)
The seat belt is a hip belt that
enhances wheelchair safety. The
seat belt is fastened to the frame
as shown in the picture.
JAY FIT Seat belt:
This option allows for precise posi-
tioning of the user's pelvis in the
chair.
CAUTION: These seat belts
should not be used as a method of securement
for transportation in a motor vehicle.

Sideguard, Aluminum, Bolt-On
with Cold-Weather Protection
(7.83)
Clothing guards (optional) prevent
water from splashing up and
soiling clothing.
Their position relative to the rear
wheels can be set by adjusting the
sideguards.
To do this, remove the screws
(1 and 2). The armrests (optional)
can be adjusted to the desired
height after the screws (3) have
been removed. When finished,
make sure that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
CAUTION:
Neither the sideguards nor the armrests are to
be used for lifting or carrying the wheelchair.
Angle-Adjustable Backrests
(7.70)
The backrest can be adjusted to 5
different positions (3° forwards, 0°,
5°, 10°, and 15° backwards).
A plate (2) is located on the side-
guard, allowing you to set the
angle by removing the screws (1)
(see the page on torque).
CAUTION: The screws (1)
connect the backrest directly to
the frame; screwing them in too
tightly may cause them to break.
Conversely, screws that are too loose can be
easily lost. In either case, injuries could result
when using the push handles to ascend stairs.
For your own safety, we recommend that adjust-
ments only be made by authorized dealers.

Adjustable Backrest Upholstery
(7.72)
The sling can be adapted to any
degree of tension by adjusting the
Velcro fasteners. The padding in
the backrest can be removed
through an interior opening,
allowing you to cushion the
backrest according to your
individual needs.

Options – Cambers
Options – Sideguard
Options – Backrests
Cambers (7.51)
The camber may be set between
1° and 4°. This makes it possible
to increase the chair’s lateral stabi-
lity as well as its maneuverability.
Remove the axle plate screws (1).
Adjust the adapter (2) to the de-
sired angle. Tighten the screws.
(see the page on torque). Raising
the camber also raises the overall
width of the wheelchair (by about
1 cm per degree).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust
both the wheel locks and
casters.

Axle Plates (7.50)
The position of the body’s center
of gravity with respect to the rear
wheels is critical for ensuring easy
and pleasant use of the wheel-
chair. Several positions are
possible: moving the axle plate (1)
backwards along the holes drilled
in the frame (2) will make the chair
more stable, but it will not be as
maneuverable as it would be if the
axle plate were positioned farther
to the front. You may adjust the
seat height by moving the axle sleeve (3) in the axle
plate. When finished, make sure that all screws
have been properly tightened (see the page on
torque).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust both the wheel
locks and casters.
