Backrest height adjustment.

NOTE: This applies only to backs with back extentions!
Adjusted correctly, the backrest will be high enough to provide proper support in both the seated
and standing position but not so high as to interfere with lateral movement and reaching of the
upper body. Generally, it is advisable to align the top of the backrest upholstery to about 1" below
the armpit.
To adjust, loosen and remove the backrest tube adjusting screws, slide the backrest insert tube to
the desired height, and then replace and tighten the screws.

CAUTION!
For safety reasons, it is imperative that the Wheel Locks be engaged whenever transferring
into or out of the wheelchair, as well as when the stand-up feature is utilized. Proper pressure
must be applied between the wheel lock contact arm and the tire so as to prevent the wheel
from rotating.
It is necessary to adjust the wheel locks periodically, and mandatory any time a fore/aft adjust-
ment is made on the wheel in relation to the frame. The adjustment is made by loosening the
wheel lock adjusting screws, moving the wheel lock to the proper position, and re-tightening
the screws. The screws are accessed on the inside of the sideframes.
Note that the tire pressure can have a significant affect on the holding ability of the engaged
wheel lock. It is therefore necessary to make certain the tires have correct air pressure before
attempting to adjust.
