• Fixed backrest with mid-height angle adjustment (photo 6B);
The angle can be adjusted using the different holes on the
backrest support (shema 6C), remove screw (A) and nut (4
mm Allen key and 10 mm spanner), select the desired angle
(from -6° to + 24°, every 6°), repositioning the screw (A)
and rmly re-tighten. The push handles are height adjustable,
slightly loosen the knob (B), adjust to the desired height,
rmly re-tighten.
Always make these adjustments before the user settles
down in the wheelchair to prevent injuries !
Invacare strongly recommend the use of anti-tippers
(available as an option) in combinaison with the passive rear
wheel position when you use your backrest with an angle of
12° and more.
The hanging of additional load (back pack or similar
items) onto your chair backposts can affect the rearward
stability of your chair, especially when used in combination
with recliner backrests. This can cause the chair to tip
backwards causing injury.
Therefore, Invacare
®
strongly recommend the use of anti-
tippers (available as an option) when using your backposts
with additional load (back pack or similar items).

upon user’s body posture, to provide the best comfort as
