Power Reclining Backrest (where fitted)
CAUTION:
It is advised that drive and/or brakes are engaged prior to operating mechanism.
ADJUSTING SEAT ANGLE:
To recline the backrest (this is an additional option), press
the appropriate ‘DOWN’ button and release it when you
have reached your desired position. To return the backrest
to the desired upright position, press the appropriate ‘UP’
button. (Please refer to the relevant section of your control
system user guide supplied with your powerchair).
Ensure that the hand unit is securely stowed before driving
the chair. Failure to do so may result in you ‘running over’
the unit, causing damage which cannot be covered by the
warranty agreement.
Continual use of the recline facility may discharge the
batteries which will inhibit the drive when required. To avoid
this happening, an audible warning will sound, warning of low
batteries. Do not continue any further operations. The
batteries should be re-charged immediately.
CAUTION:
Operating the reclining backrest outdoors may cause the
chair to become unstable when kerb climbing and ascending
or descending slopes. The backrest must be in the upright
position when driving the chair.
