2.12 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 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.
