Control Adjustments - Superior M User Manual

2) If the wheelchair should get stuck in a standing position due to a broken cable
or something else, the wheelchair must be lowered manually (for this
maneuver it takes tools and assistants). The bolt that holds the engine in the
upper engine mount must be unscrewed and the engine shall be folded dawn
and backwards. Beware that the weight of the person sitting in the chair will
make the seat fall down into a sitting position. It is very important that the
assisting persons follow the chair to a sitting position, to make the descent as
smooth as possible.
The chair must now not be used until an authorized workshop has looked at
the chair and rectified errors.

Control adjustments

When all the adjustments are done:
In a seated position:
The user must feel comfortable sitting down. To achieve the best stability in the
chair, the driveshaft of the backwheel should be placed in the center of the pelvis.
The driveability must feel comfortable and right.
In a standing position:
When the wheelchair is properly adjusted, the user should be able to rise to a standing
position with her/his knees fully stretched.
The chair is properly adjusted if the imaginary line from hip to ankle, straigth thru
the knees, is completely straight.
It has to be easy to reach the raising handles. It has got to be possible for the user
to, within the standing wheelchairs asjustment abilities, reach the handles without
being forced to lean forward, as she/he must sit down again.
If any of the foregoing descriptions are not complied, place the user in a sitting
position again and make a new precision adjustment. Primarily adjust the seat and
the back and thereafter the shank support.
