SECTION 13—RECLINER BACK OPTION
SECTION 13—RECLINER BACK
OPTION
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height,
size/position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user
condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any
combination of the eleven may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to
the frame tubing.

Recliner Operation

Both gas cylinders MUST be operational and adjusted properly before using the
recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one of the gas cylinders is
operational or adjusted properly.
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable in the full reclined (back at 180°)
position and the full upright (back at 90°) position before using the recliner option.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or
inclining (sitting up) to maintain maximum stability and safety.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (sitting up) the
wheelchair.
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more
body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty degrees of incline
(sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek
assistance to avoid injury.
Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in
the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closest to the ground/floor).
