4.4 Backbrace for the Backrest (Heavy duty
version only)
The backbrace links the two push handles, provides tension
to the backrest upholstery and must always be in position
on heavy duty versions.
CAUTION!
– Do not use the backbrace to push the
wheelchair. The backbrace is not a push bar!
– Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair using
the backbrace; it may come loose and it could
break.
– Keep your fingers away from movable parts
and sharp edges to prevent injuries.
Folding the backbrace

Unfolding the backbrace
1. Fold the backbrace B upwards.
2. Align the backbrace B with the push handle and push it
down on the hand screw A.
3. Firmly tighten the hand screw A and make sure that
the TWO hand screws A are properly tightened.
It is important to ensure that the backbrace is
correctly fitted and engaged at all times when the
chair is in use. It should not be left hanging loose.
4.5 Backrest Extension
The backrest extension has two uprights A and backrest
extension upholstery. The locating pegs should only be
fitted to the backrest posts by a qualified technician. When
refitting, make sure that it is firmly fixed with the four hand
screws B onto the locations fitted to the backrest tubes.
Raise the head rest assembly to remove it from the backrest
posts.
