Adjusting angle of the backrest
Depending on the wheelchair configuration, the backrest of the Mistral can be adjusted in one of
three different ways:
•
By means of a metal plate with sets of holes in it, which allows different angles to be pre-
set.
•
By means of a manually activated gas pressure spring.
•
By means of an electrical actuator that is controlled via the Joystick Box.
The first two options will be described in this section. Please consult the user manual for your
remote for information about electrical adjustment.
