4.0 Setting up the seating system
The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Sunrise
Medical wheelchairs can be pre-set according to specific needs of the
user.
Pre-settings are carried out once, the first time the wheelchair is
going to be used. They must be executed by qualified specialist,
unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Tool and calibration marks
A M5 Allen key is supplied with the seating system. This can be used
by a professional for adjusting all of the seating system settings. The
M5 Allen key (A) can be found on the frame at the location indicated
in figure 4.1.
NOTE / CAUTION!
There are calibration marks on various parts of the seating system.
The ex-factory settings are indicated.
4.1 Pre-set seat depth
Backrest frame depth (Fig 4.2):
1. Loosen (A) by one turn.
2. Adjust (B) to the desired position.
3. Tighten (A).
NOTE / CAUTION!
• When a bigger seat depth is required ensure that the cables are
lengthened before the mechanical adjustment takes place.
• There are 2 sizes seat rail/seat plates available: 400-520 and 460-
560 mm. Choose the right seat rail to match the adjusted seat
depth.
• Mount extra seat depth mounting plate from SD 530 mm for more
stability of the long seat rail Fig 4.3.
Seat cushion depth (Fig 4.4)
For the standard seat cushion position use the holes in Fig 4.4. The
cushion can be positioned one position more to the front to create
extra seat depth.
