Quickie Salsa Instructions For Use Manual page 23

Please ensure the controller is switched off before
you engage the release levers – Failure to do so will
increase the force needed to push the chair.
DANGER!
• This may only be used in an emergency, or if
you need to manually push your wheelchair. It is
not intended for permanent use or to push the
wheelchair up/down a slope with the user sitting
in it.
• The chair's automatic braking system will not
work unless the brake release levers are in the
"drive" or down position.
• Motor surfaces can be hot after use. Be careful
not to touch the motor casing when disengaging
the freewheel.
• Never attempt to disengage the brake release
mechanism whilst sitting in the wheelchair,
especially on a slope.
• Always ensure the Brake release levers are
returned to the down / drive position.
5.4.1 Low push force drive release, (LPFDR)
NOTE: In case your powerchair is fitted with the low
push force drive release, the following instruction
applies:
When switched off the powerchair remains immobile
due to the positive locking action of the automatic
electromagnetic brakes built onto the motors.
If you need to move the powerchair without the use of
battery power then operate the brake release levers
(Fig 4.1 - 4.4) as described in section 4, or (Fig. 5.5 -
5.8), as shown on the previous page.
However if the force needed to push the powerchair
to too high for you to manage then the low push force
drive release may be used, (Fig.5.10 - 5.11), below.

5.2.1 Folding The Gas/Powered Reclining Backrest
(Standard Seat).
WARNING!
The Lower position of both the Powered Actuator and Manual
Gas Strut MUST correspond to the Seat depth being used.
Following Seat depth Adjustment you MUST ensure the Lower
actuator/Gas strut position matches the seat depth set, i.e. use
the 17", (430mm) Hole in the lower bracket for a seat depth of
17", (430mm).
After folding the backrest you MUST ensure that the lower
Actuator/gas strut securing Pin is fitted in the correct location
to match the seat depth being used, i.e. use the 17", (430mm)
Hole in the lower bracket for a seat depth of 17", (430mm).
Failure to do this will result in potentially unsafe recline angles
and the Actuator breaking during operation, the backrest will
fall backwards and result in a potential risk for the user to loose
postural stability.
1. Pull the retaining pin out, (Fig.5.12).
2. Pull the pivot pin out, (Fig.5.13).
3. Undo the backrest lever bolts, (Fig.5.14).
4. Lay the backrest on the seat, (Fig.5.15)
5. When refitting, please use the correct lower bracket hole,
(Fig.5.16). See warning above.
