Risk of tipping: Always
check the positioning of
the anti-tips after adjust-
ing the backrest uphol-
stery.
(!) Do not overtighten the upper
straps as this can prevent the
cross-brace from unfolding
properly, i.e. the seat-frame
tubes do not sit flush in the
sideframes.
Ensure that the knobs
are properly tightened.
This is especially impor-
tant if you intend to lift
the wheelchair whilst
the user is sitting in it.
- The bow handle must
be removed before the
chair can be folded. En-
sure that the knobs are
properly tightened. This
is especially important
if you intend to lift the
wheelchair whilst the
user is sitting in it.
7 Settings backrest mod. 2
7:4 Backrest upholstery
The contour of the backrest up-
holstery is individually adjustable
by using the five Velcro straps and
the backrest cover.
- Allow the cover plenty of room
between seat and backrest,
so that it is possible to “sit in”
against the backrest.
- Loosen all the straps and
ensure that the user is sitting
as far back in the seat as pos-
sible.
- Tighten the straps in such a
way that they follow the con-
tours of the user’s back and
give plenty of support to the
lumbar region.
7:5 Height adjustable push handles
The push handles can be set at
intervals of 2 cm.
- Loosen the knob (A) and press
the plastic washer. Install de-
sired height.
- Ensure that the push handles
are locked in the correct posi-
tion. Tighten the knob again.
7:6 Bow handle (option)
The bow handle is height adjusta-
ble and detachable. It is mounted
in the push handle attachment,
and is adjusted in the same way,
see above. A headrest may also
be fitted to the bow handle, see
part “The chairs possibilities”.
