5.12.9 Recline actuator - removing adapter
The Modulite seat is shipped ex works with an adapter on
the backrest actuator, which allows a backrest angle of 75
to 105 degrees. This is done for safety reasons, in order
to ensure tipping stability in cases of heavy user weight
or tall users with a corresponding shift in their center of
gravity. Smaller or lighter users can use the full range of
backrest angles from 90 to 120 degrees.
1.
The adapter (1) must be removed to allow this.
The tipping stability must be checked
afterwards, to determine the safety and
stability of the electric wheelchair. See service
manual, “Checking tipping stability”.
2.
Slide bolts (6) to the side using the lever (5) and tilt
actuator out of the upper bracket.
3.
Remove SL retainer clip (2) incl. washers (3) from the
fixation bolt (4).
