- Back brace (photo 29) : it provides tension to the backrest
upholstery and provides the attendant better ergonomics
when pushing the wheelchair.
Note : it swings away to facilitate the wheelchair folding;
slightly loosen the button (A), pull up and swivel along the
backrest until it is in vertical position.
To reposition it, reverse the procedure and rmly tighten the
button (A) making sure that the button is properly tighten
(B).
It is important to ensure that the backbrace
(if required) is correctly tted and engaged at all times
when the chair is in use, or it should be removed totally
if not required. It should not be left hanging loose. (see
label on the backbrace) (g. 30). Do not attempt to lift the
wheelchair using the backbrace ; it may come loose and
the wheelchair and user drop. Keep your ngers away from
movable parts to prevent injuries.
