2.2 ADJUSTMENT OF BACKREST, HEADREST, ARMREST AND FOOTREST
Be careful when adjusting as there may be a danger of crushing. For the best adjustment, use the
assistance of a helper or maintenance company.
ADJUSTMENT OF BACKREST
The back-rest of the wheelchair can be adjusted either
manually or electrically. If adjusting the backrest
forwards, then pay attention that nothing would get
stuck in between the armrests and the seat’s padding.
MANUALLY ADJUSTED BACKREST
To adjust the backrest manually, pull the lever located
at the side of the backrest, at the same time sliding
the backrest or turning the wheel on the side of the
back, until the backrest is in the desired position.
ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTED BACKREST
Back-rest is adjusted electrically through the steering
device. For choosing the adjustment mode, press on
the SUPPLEMENTARY DEVICE-button until the screen
displays the lights indicating the seat’s settings.
Then the correct seat settings can be chosen by moving
the steering lever either to the left or right.
ADJUSTMENT OF HEADREST
In order to adjust the height of the headrest, the
plastic butterfly nut (1) at the back of the headrest
needs to be loosened until the headrest can move
freely on its attachment. Once the desired height has
been achieved, the butterfly nut has to be tightened
up again. The height of the headrest can be adjusted
smoothly.
In order to adjust the depth of the headrest, the
plastic butterfly nut (2) behind the rod needs to be
loosened until the headrest can move freely on its
attachment. Once the desired position has been
achieved, the butterfly nut has to be tightened up
again. The depth of the headrest can be adjusted
smoothly.
The padding of the headrest is attached to the rod by
a globe joint (3). The padding can be easily changed
according to the user's head position.
NB!
If the adjustment of backrest is
incorrect, then pay attention to the
position of the seat and adjustment of
the weight distribution. If after
adjustment, the backrest stays too far
forward or too far backwards, then
weight distribution could have been
adjusted to the wrong place and the
wheelchair may fall over. Contact an
authorized maintenance company.
