Adjusting the lower leg length is explained in the section "Use" > "Legrests" (see Page 21).
6.3.1.2.3 Adjusting the back support upholstery
INFORMATION
A well-adjusted back support provides lasting comfort for the wheelchair user and reduces the risk of secondary
damage and pressure zones.
INFORMATION
Ensure that the user's pelvis is positioned as far back in the seat as possible, i.e. between the back support
tubes.
The adjustable back support upholstery can be adjusted in segments to the needs of the user. In order to properly
adjust the upholstery, the user must be sitting in the wheelchair during the adjustment process.
