3.8 Backrest Height
The backrest height can be adjusted approximately 6cm in the tracks that are where the flexi-back
is secured. This requires a 10mm key, diagram 17, which is located under the front seat’s cross tube.
As an alternative for tall users there is an elevated back that is 10cm higher than standard
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE BACKREST:
- Loosen the four nuts, 1 in Diagram 18, a few turns.
- Push the flexi-back up or down to the desired height.
- Tighten the screws securely.
- Make sure the brake cables are not damaged when the back is moved.
If your back needs to be even higher, the four clamps the flexi-
back/back plate is attached to are moved upward along the back
frame tube. This gives a back position, a further 30mm higher. To
continue:
- Loosen the four back clamps by loosening the screws, 2 in Diagram
19, a few turns.
- Push the back clamps carefully along the back frame tube to the
desired position. Some risk of damage to the paint finish exists.
Note that the top position for the push bar becomes unusable because
the snap hole is covered.
3.9 Setting the Flexi-Back
Guide to set the flexi-back:
1. Before the user sits in a wheelchair;
a. Make sure the back cushion is properly positioned in the seat. See
instructions for upholstery/cushions.
b. Release the straps properly.
c. Loosen the nuts for height adjustment of the flexi-back.
2. Positioning of the user;
a. When lifting, tilt the wheelchair’s seat unit backwards. It can in
many cases be easier to recline the backrest slightly.
b. Position the user well into the wheelchair, between the flexi-
frame’s side tubes. This is required to form the flexi-back individu-
ally to the user’s back
3. With the user sitting in the wheelchair;
a. Set the seatback at the desired height.
b. Adjust the seatback Velcro according to the user’s back.
c. Tighten the nuts for the seat back height adjustment.
