3.5.7 Backbrace
There are two types of backbraces (Standard backbrace and
Folding backrest bar) available.
Standard backbrace for the backrest
The backbrace links the two push handles, provides tension
to the backrest upholstery and must always be in position
on recliner versions.
CAUTION!
– Do not use the backbrace to push the
wheelchair. The backbrace is not a push bar!
– Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair using
the backbrace; it may come loose and it could
break.
– Keep your fingers away from movable parts and
sharp edges to prevent injuries.
Folding the backbrace
1. Slightly loosen the two hand screws A, pull up the
backbrace B and swivel it downwards along the backrest
(on right or left hand).
2. Fold the backbrace B until it is in vertical position.
Unfolding the backbrace
1. Fold the backbrace B upwards.
2. Align the backbrace B with the push handle and push it
down on the hand screw A.
3. Firmly tighten the hand screw A and make sure that the
TWO hand screws A are properly tightened.
It is important to ensure that the backbrace is
correctly fitted and engaged at all times when the
chair is in use. It should not be left hanging loose
(see label C on the backbrace).
Folding backrest bar for the backrest
An optional folding backrest bar is available to increase the
rigidity of the backrest.
CAUTION!
– Do not use the folding backrest bar to lift or
push the wheelchair. It could break.
