6 Adjustment / Assembly Instructions
All wheelchair users have expectations regarding wheelchair type, accessories, seating and
handling.
Your Start wheelchair has many options by which it can be customized to your needs and prefer-
ences. We recommend consulting with your dealer or therapist to determine which wheelchair
settings will work best for you.

6.1. Adjusting seat height and seat inclination
The higher the rear wheel is attached to the frame, the more the seat inclines downward. This
positions the user deeper and more firmly into the seat. However, rear wheels that are attached
high at the frame also make the wheelchair more prone to tilt backwards. A careful and syn-
chronized height adjustment of both the rear wheels and the casters will allow to adapt the seat
height to the user’s individual requirements.
INFORMATION:
Please note: When the rear wheel position is changed, the angle of the caster axle
in relation to the ground also changes. Ensure that this angle is always approx.
90° wide (see “Caster wheels”). The wheel lock must be re-adjusted as well (see
“Wheel lock”) .
