1.2.3. THE BACK REST
The back rest is fitted with an adjustable "shoulder joint". By
loosening the two thumb screws one has the option of angling the
shoulder joint forwards or backwards. To rase the back rest, the
two bolts in the telescopic tube are loosended which become visible
when the shoulder joint is tipped backwards. The height of the back
rest can now be adjusted and increased by up to 10 cm. Depending
on the wheelchair's equipment, the following are selected: Fixed
back angle, manual back angle or electrical back angle.
Fixed back angle can be adapted (by using tools) by adjusting the
angle brace on the back of the back rest. The brace is removed from
the circular fixture at the one end and is extended or shortened by
turning the ends in the thread in the middle section.
Manual back angle is adjusted by operating the handle of the gas
spring (push downwards) whilst the back rest is pushed into the
desired position. Release the handle in order to lock the back rest
in place again.
Electric back angle is operated from the switch (normally placed
on the same side as the control box).
1.2.4. NECK SUPPORT
The height and position of the neck support (optional) are adjust-
able. By loosening both hand screws, the neck support can be
positioned as desired.
