ADJUSTING THE T-TYPE AND FLIP BACK
ARMRESTS
CONVERTING A FLIP BACK ARMREST INTO A T-TYPE ARMREST
• To convert a removable and retractable flip back
armrest into a T-Type armrest, simply remove the
pivot arm.
• Refer to the User's Manual (folding wheelchairs)
for assembly and disassembly instructions.
• Order shorter screws so that there are no exposed
threads when the pivot arm is removed
• The opposite is possible (converting a T-Type armrest
into a flip back armrest) only if the chair is equipped
with the standard armrest model with a bidirectional
lateral button height adjustment mechanism
REVERSE DESK LENGTH (SHORT) ARM PADS
• The latest T-Type
structures have height adjustment
holes on both sides.
• This improvement is particularly interesting for
desk length (short) arm pads. The user can install
the arm pad in the desired direction.
• For example, he can install the short end
forward to get closer to a desk or a table and
the long end forward for comfort and
support.
• Note: By reversing the direction (front and back),
you can also reverse the sides (left and right) not
to lose width between the two pads
• For full length (long) arm pads, this only allows
them to be installed in one direction or the other
* Design change introduced in September 2021 gradually in the different markets
