The backrest can be inclined and re-
moved.
Removing the back

chair from rolling away accidentally.

tubes (up to the end stop).
– Screw in the securing screws (A, Fig.
31).
Adjusting the backrest angle

chair from rolling away accidentally.

PUSH MODE
The SPRINT GT can also be switched to
push mode.
The electronic wheelchair has a consid-
erably higher weight than conventional
wheelchairs (motor, batteries). This
means that higher pushing and steering
force are necessary.
!
Attention:
Only push the wheelchair on level
surfaces.
The electromagnetic brake is switched
from drive to push mode by way of the
brake release lever on the side of the
wheelchair!
The brake release lever on the side of
the wheelchair is used to switch the elec-
tromagnetic brake from drive mode to
push mode! – Controlled braking is not
possible!
Push mode
– Switch off the wheelchair before
changing to the push mode. –Do this
