Seating comfort
Good seating comfort depends on the needs and possibilities
available to each individual. The following general guidelines here
show what to consider when settings are made.
Back support upholstery
The back support upholstery is adjusted with the user sitting
in the wheelchair.
• Make sure the user is sitting as far back in the seat
as possible.
• Angle the back support so that the dynamic pelvic support
is activated (see illustration).
• Support the pelvis by tightening the dynamic pelvic support belt.
Remember that the belt is automatically loosened when the back
support is tilted back (see illustration). The pelvic support belt is
height-adjustable (see illustration).
• Then adjust the upper strap to provide the user with
upper body support and balance.
• The other straps are adjusted to provide space for the user's
posterior and follow the back's natural curvature.
Bear in mind the risk of tipping.
Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
