Folding backrest
To make it easier to transport the wheelchair, the top half of the
backrest can be folded down.
To do this, press both levers (1) and fold the backrest down.
When folding the backrest back up, please make sure that both
sides are firmly interlocked (Fig. 6.25/6.26).
WARNING!
• Risk of injury: do not get your fingers caught in the folding
back mechanism.
CAUTION!
Please take into account the altered centre of gravity
when setting the angle of the backrest, tension of the backrest
belts or backrest height. This may lead to an unstable
wheelchair likely to tip and may rquire the use of anti-tip tubes.
