6.6 Adjusting the back support upholstery / seat upholstery
6.6.1 Adjusting the back support upholstery
INFORMATION
A well-adjusted backrest provides lasting comfort for the wheelchair user and reduces the risk of secondary dam
age and pressure zones. Do not create too much pressure.
INFORMATION
Ensure that the user's pelvis is positioned as far back in the wheelchair as possible, i.e. between the back sup
port tubes.
6.6.1.1 Adapting the adjustable back support upholstery
The back support upholstery can be adapted in segments to the needs of the user (see fig. 45).
1) Remove the back support pad.
2) Loosen the hook-and-loop fastener of the upholstery straps (see fig. 46, item 1; see fig. 47, item 1).
3) Fasten the upholstery straps with the desired tension using the hook-and-loop fastener.
If necessary, unthread/thread the upholstery straps from/through the flaps to do so (see fig. 46, item 2).
4) If the upholstery straps are too long, they can be shortened. To do so, remove the end pieces from the uphol
stery straps (see fig. 48, item 1), trim the upholstery straps (see fig. 48, item 2) and reinstall the end pieces.
5) Put on the back support pad and attach it with the hook-and-loop fastener.
