4.4 Tilt in Space
The angle of the seat and backrest can be adjusted to any angle between the upright and fully
reclined position.
To recline the seat, put the brakes on
and stand behind the wheelchair.
Holding both push handles squeeze
the operating lever (see photo
opposite) and push down evenly on
both handles. Release the lever when
the seat is at the desired angle.
To bring the seat upright put the
brakes on and stand behind the
wheelchair. Holding both push
handles squeeze the operating lever
(see photo opposite) and lift evenly on
both handles. Release the lever when
the seat is at the desired angle.
Important: - Always put the brakes on and move both push
handles together when adjusting the seat angle.
4.5 Tyres and Brakes
The tyres are made from a solid material and do not require any attention other than being
cleaned with a damp cloth when dirty.
Check brakes by moving both levers forward as far as they will go. The wheels should now
be locked. If the wheels move the brakes need adjusting.
Left and Right Handed Occupant brakes are fitted as standard to
all Tilt & Fold Wheelchairs.
If the wheelchair is fitted with (optional) Hub Brake wheels the
standard Occupant brake will also be fitted. Hub brakes are for
the attendants use only and not for use as a parking brake. You
must ensure that the supplied Occupant parking brakes are used
when the chair needs to be parked and you must not rely on any
parking brake which may be fitted to the Hub Brakes.
Always put both brakes on when the occupant is getting in or out
of the wheelchair.
