Q6 Edge how do I readjust the back to release it a little? Mine is too straight up so I have to use the functon of tilting the seat/back as one unit.

To make the back of the Quantum Q6 Series Edge less upright, use the seatback release lever located on the right side of the seat base if your power chair is equipped with a reclining set. This allows you to adjust the seatback angle.
