The wheelchair can be adjusted to the personal characteristics or preferences of the 
user.  
This will generally be done by the dealer before, or at the time of, delivery.

following (generally available) tools: 

•

  Allen key, 4, 5 en 6 mm 

•

  Open-end spanner, 13 mm between flats 

 
There are a number of adjustments that may only be done by the dealer: these are 
indicated in the following paragraph.

The seat height can be altered by changing the attachment of the 4 triangular shaped 
height blocks.

adjustment to the extreme position (as far forward as possible). 

2.  Place the chair on blocks so that the wheels are free. 
3.  Loosen the parking brake handle forks. 
4.  Dismantle the side frames. These are fixed to the front height blocks with two 

socket-head screws each side, and at the rear with two hexagon-head bolts. 

5.  Alter the position of the 4 height blocks (attached with concealed socket-head
