Setting Seat Width and Armrest Type
The MX seat pan on the K450 is available in four different widths:
250mm, 300mm, 350mm and 400mm or 10”, 12”, 14” and 16”
It is also possible to mount two different types of armrest on the MX seat:
Flip-up type, MX armrest or Removable type, PS Jr armrest
Since the MX seating system lowers between the front swing arms, the width of the seat pan and type of
armrests that are mounted affect the free space between different areas of the seat and chassis.
In order to reduce the risk of injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair when wider seats are installed,
it is possible to restrict how low to the ground the seating system can go.
How Seat Width & Armrest Type affect seat clearances:
Use the ICS Switchbox to adjust the setting of how low to the ground the seat can move:
