Backrest; Side Panels - Otto Bock Avantgarde XXL 2 Instructions For Use Manual

7.5 Backrest

WARNING
Incorrect use of back support angle adjustment
Falling, tipping over due to operation without anti-tipper
► Note that adjusting the back support angle shifts the centre of gravity. Only use the back support angle
adjustment with the anti-tipper activated.
► Drive in street traffic only with a vertical back support.
The product can be equipped with a fixed or optionally an angle-adjustable back support.

7.6 Side panels

CAUTION
Pinching at the side panels
Pinching, crushing due to lack of caution in danger areas
► Pay attention not to pinch parts of your body between the side panel or frame parts.
The side panels protect the user and his/her clothing from getting dirty.
If armrests have been installed on the wheelchair, they offer the user additional support for the forearms.
The wheelchair can be equipped with various side panels:
Adjustable side panel with protection against cold (see fig. 17)
The aluminium side panel can be quickly adapted horizontally and vertically to changed drive wheel positions.
Adjustable clothing guard with protection against cold (see fig. 18)
Many wheelchair users are familiar with the problem of clothes coming into contact with the drive wheels and get­
ting dirty. The clothing guard prevents this. It is horizontally and vertically adjustable and can therefore be adapted
to the position of the drive wheel.
Side panel with height-adjustable forearm support (see fig. 19)
The side panels can be swung away to the rear and removed for transfer. The height of the forearm support can be
adjusted without the use of tools. The forearm support is offered in the short, long and asymmetrical versions.
