CAUTION!
Adjusting the seat tilt or the backrest angle
changes the geometry of the mobility device and
directly influences its dynamic stability!
– For details regarding dynamic stability, negotiating
gradients and obstacles and the correct adjustment
of seat tilt or backrest angle, refer to 5.3 Taking
Obstacles, page 22 and 5.4 Driving up and down
gradients, page 23.
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping if the backrest angle is set too far
backwards for a seat on the rear seat position and
with a seat depth larger than 460 mm
– When your seat with a seat depth larger than 460
mm is positioned on the rear seat position, adjust the
backrest angle to maximum 105°.

backrest stopper, page 29.
