The foot operated tilt is always mounted on the right
side.

2.10 Reducing tilt and / or backrest recline

Depending on the rear wheel size when the wheelchair is ordered
with a low seat to floor height, reduction bushings are added to the
tilt and/or recline function in some combinations. This is because
there may be a conflict between the seat frame and the rear wheel
attachment when tilting or reclining the chair. This means that the
operating range of the gas piston is reduced in order to avoid damage
to certain parts when tilting or reclining the wheelchair. One or more
reduction bushings can be used, each reduction bushing reduces the
tilting/reclining range with 10º. This means that if the tilt/recline have
a range of 1–30º, the range will be reduced to 1–20º by adding one
reduction bushing to the gas piston. For the Dahlia 30º version, the
1572308-B
A
reduction bushings can be used to reduce both the tilt and the recline
range. For the Dahlia 45º version, the reduction bushings will reduce
the recline range with 10º or 20º and the reduction blocks will reduce
the seat tilt range from 45º to 30º.
CAUTION!
Risk of damage
Removing the reduction bushings could cause damage to
the wheelchair in some positions.
– Be careful when tilting/reclining the chair if the
reduction bushings are removed. Read the instructions
concerning limitation areas and how to avoid them.
See section: "Troubleshooting" for more information.
