are factory-made in accordance with the customer’s order form.
The following parts can be set by the user:
•
Backrest angle
• Armrest height
•
Backrest shape
•
Control panel position
• The shape of the seat
• The height and angle of the footplate

The angle of the standard backrest is adjusted with a water screw. To adjust the backrest slope, loosen both lock
nuts with a 13 mm spanner. (image 4) Note that counter nuts must be loosened in the right and left direction,
respectively. The angle of the backrest can now be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw. (image 4). After ad

6.3 Backrest Shape and Depth
The backrest shape is adapted to the individual user’s need for support and balance and can be adjusted with the
Velcro straps under the back cover. The back of the back cover is folded up so that the straps are visible (Image
5 and 6). By adjusting the various straps, the user can shape the back cover so that it is adapted to the individual
needs. This adjustment is of great importance for the user’s benefit of the wheelchair. We recommend that this
option is initially carried out with the assistance of Wolturnus A / S consultants or the user’s therapist.
