Adjustment possibilities

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect settings. All
subsequent adaptation or adjustment work may only be
carried out by authorised specialist dealers.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to loosening plug and
screw connections. Screw and plug connections must be
loosened for all adjustment work and when folding the
back rest for transportation. This can cause uncontrolled
movements of wheelchair components. To avoid injuries at
pinch and shear points, carry out such tasks with the sup-
port of another person. Ensure that body parts such as the
hands or head are kept out of the danger zone at all times.
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to unsecured screw connections.
When screw connections with thread locks are loosened,
they must be replaced with new ones or secured with a
medium-strength liquid thread lock substance (e.g. Loc-
tite® 241).
