Hoggi SWINGBO, User Manual

4.5 Backrest angle

• Hold the upper edge of the backrest.

• Turn the toggle until the bolt is completely withdrawn into its housing.

• Now one of the five backrest angles can be chosen.

• Release the bolt to lock into the required position. 

CAUTION!

Check with a sharp push on the backrest to ensure that 

the bolt is securely located.

4.6 Seat position and the centre of gravity (Active degree)

This describes the backrest position in relation to the position of the 

rear axle and the centre of gravity. The further the backrest and, 

therefore, the child’s shoulders are positioned behind the rear axle, 

the more actively the SWINGBO wheelchair can be driven (e.g. 

lifting the front castors). Alternatively, mounting the backrest over or 

in front of the rear axle means a more stable driving position.

CAUTION!

Mounting the backrest to give a more active drive position 

requires a competent wheelchair user and the installation 

of anti-tippers. 

It is possible for the dealer to make an adjustment.

4.7 Footrest hanger 90° (Knee angle)

By loosening the four screws, the knee angle assembly can be 

moved in relation to the front edge of the seat. 

Thereby the child can be seated with a knee angle of between 

approximately 85° to 95°. 

Retighten the four screws securely.

If necessary the angle of the foot rest should also be adjusted.

4.8 Lower leg length

Release both clamping screws on the footboard bracket in order to 

adjust to the required lower leg length. 

Retighten the clamping screws securely.

Whenever you change any settings on the wheelchair, 

make sure that you firmly tighten any screws that have 

been loosened.

4.9 Foot rest angle adjustment

The foot rest can be folded upwards to climb in or out of the 

wheelchair or for transportation.

The position of the foot rest can be adjusted by loosening the four 

screws on the foot rest bracket.
