4.3.3 Forward tilt
The forward tilt has programmable positions to meet individual needs.
Typical tilt positions are 5°, 10°, 20°, and 45°.
• 10° makes it easier to reach objects, for instance on a table.
• 20° extends your reach even further.
• 45° lowers the footplates.
When you tilt the seat forward or backward, it will stop when it reaches a
preprogrammed position or a neutral, not tilted, position. In order to continue
the movement forwards or backwards from a position, press the button or
repeat the joystick manoeuvre again. The tilt angle may vary depending on
how the forward tilt is programmed and if any positioning limitations apply.
WARNING! Use positioning aids at all times
4.3.4 Backrest tilt
The backrest tilt tilts the backrest backwards and back up again. When the
backrest is tilted, the maximum speed of the wheelchair may be reduced
automatically or the ability to drive the wheelchair may be restricted
completely. The reduced maximum speed may be indicated with a turtle on
the display of the control panel and by a yellow light on the switch box. The
drive restriction may be indicated with a red light on the switch box or by a
flashing turtle on the display of the control panel.
