SERVICE MANUAL
Adjustment:
• 84° (6°close);
• 90° to the seat;
• 96° (6° open).
90°
Remove the bolt A that fixes the rear side of the mudguard. Remove the bolt and nut C.
Turn the backrest tube until aligning one of its lower holes with one of the three of the support S. 1 = 90°; 2 = 96°; 3 = 84°.
Before inserting and tighten the bolt C, it is necessary, for a correct assembly, that there is the washer between the backrest tube and the
external wall of the support S. You can also see there is another washer between the backrest tube and the internal wall of the support in
correspondence with the bolt B.
These two washers help keeping the backrest tubes parallel between themselves.

The frame has two holes, F1 F2, to fix the support S.
For 90° and 96° (6°open) angles, you have to fix the support S through the hole F1. Even if not intended, it
is possible to fix the support through the hole F2. In such case, however, you will increase the seat depth
and the wheelchair will be more unstable.
For 84° (6° close) angle, you have to fix the support S through the hole F2. That backward positioning is
necessary to prevent interference between the backrest tubes and the crossbar when folding the wheelchair.
Considering where the user's back will lean on the backrest, the seat depth increases very little and the
point of balance of the wheelchair remains almost the same; in fact, the backward positioning compensates
the fact that the close angle makes the wheelchair more prudential.
To move the support S from one hole to the other, remove the bolt and nut D.
Loosen the bolts and nuts B C, slide the support and align its hole to the one on the frame.
Insert the bolt D, then tighten hard the bolt and nut B first, then the bolt and nut C and then tighten the bolt
and nut D. Finally, check and if necessary, tighten B C again.
When positioning the side guard, you will see that its hole is no longer aligned with the fixing ring's. You will
have to drill a new hole or horizontally widen the existing
Finally, fix the side guard with the bolt A. see also adjustment sheet "side guard".
