6.7.2 Adjusting the seat upholstery

The seat upholstery usually does not need to be adjusted during the initial fitting. However, the tension can be
changed.
INFORMATION
You can slightly correct the centre of gravity by making small changes to the sag of the seat upholstery. However,
larger corrections to the centre of gravity must be made by making changes to the settings on the frame, the drive
wheel adapter and the caster wheels.
1) Fold the wheelchair and remove the seat cushion.
2) Remove the protective caps (see fig. 20).
3) Remove the seat upholstery from the crossbrace (not illustrated).
4) If necessary, tighten the seat upholstery with the aid of the hook-and-loop fastener on the bottom of the seat
upholstery (see fig. 21).
5) Push the seat upholstery onto the crossbrace.
6) Slide on the protective caps.
7) Unfold the wheelchair. In doing so, the crossbrace must be seated fully in the support guides.
