Armrest Height Adjustment
Loosen height adjustment knobs (One on each
armrest - Fig.6), and raise or lower armrest so that it
is at a comfortable height. It may be better to have
someone else adjusting the armrest height while you
are sitting in the chair and making sure the armrests
are in a comfortable position before they are locked
in place. Finally tighten the knobs and ensure that
the armrests are secure.
Armrest Angle Adjustment
The armrest angle can be adjusted by flipping up
the armrest, and loosening the nut near the pivot
point. Then, using an Allen key turn the armrest
adjustment screw clockwise to lower the end of the
armrest or anticlockwise to raise it. Once satisfied,
tighten the nut and lower the armrest.
Joystick Controller
Adjustment
The joystick controller position can be adjusted by
moving the joystick gently to the side and back. In
addition the joystick controller can be moved for-
ward and back loosening the grub screw with the
allen key provided, and setting to your preferred
position. Always ensure the grub screw is secure
and tight before using your Powerchair. Ask your
dealer if you wish to have the joystick on the left
hand armrest and they will make this change for you.
Seat Back Folding and
Adjustment
The Seat Back can be folded down for transporting
(Fig.7). The seat back angle can be adjusted for
comfortable sitting. The maximum reclining angle is
only for use when the chair is stationary, on a flat
surface with the power off.
Headrest Adjustment
The headrest height can be adjusted by pressing in
the tab on the left hand collar and sliding the
headrest up or down. Make sure that the collars
have engaged into the headrest groves once the
adjustment has been made.

Warning! Do not use the armrest as a
support when getting in and out of your
Powerchair – Armrests are not designed to fully
support your weight.
Warning! Always check that the knobs are
tight and the armrests are secure before driving
the Powerchair.

Warning! Always return the seat to the
upright position before starting off. If the seat
back is tilted too far back, the risk of tipping
over backwards is increased, especially if
travelling up ramps, kerbs or hills.
