IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
R. Backrest (Continued)
How to Use the Relaxed Position (Fig. 20)
The Ethos backrest will open into an extended position referred to as the "Relaxed Position"
which is a 6° difference.
1. Lean forward slightly to take the load off the latching pins and then pull up on the release bar
(Fig. 20:A) and lean back into the relaxed position.
2. Lock the back by pulling the back tubes forward until the back locks with a click.
S. Changing Polymers
Included with your chair are polymers in different densities from what was configured on your
chair at the time of order. These have been provided to allow the ride experience to be optimized
based on rider preference. For additional information on polymer selection and tailoring your ride
experience, please visit the Ethos product page at www.kimobility.com.
Polymers can be changed or reconfigured. A chart is shown below to help guide the you to the
correct polymers for your needs. Instructions on how to change the polymers are on the next
page.
