4.1: Unfold and lock the backrest:
Fig 4.1.1
The Mini Tilt will be supplied complete, but
in its folded position.
First unfold the back by lifting the backrest
as far as it will move (see left).
Please note that the locking bolts must be in
the “unlocked” position as shown, if they are
extended into the “locked” position it will not
be possible to move the back into its full
upright position.
There are 2 bolts located either side of the
backrest near the hinge.
With the back is in its full upright position,
lock the bolts by moving the black ball knob
towards the outside of the chair so it moves
out of its docking position.
The bolt is spring-loaded and will drop down
into the receiver tube in the frame.
Fig 4.1.2
Fig 4.1.3
Always ensure that the bolts have moved
the full length of the slot, and cannot move
any further.
To release the locking bolts, lift the full
length of the slot and move towards the
inside of the chair.
This will restore them to the unlocked
position and allow the backrest to be folded
for transport.
Note: Always support the backrest when
folding to avoid it dropping down too
quickly. We recommend holding the
backrest by the rear crossbar when
folding.
