Adjusting the seating position

In order to adapt the mobility device optimally to the requirements of the user, we recommend that
you ask your authorised Invacare® the dealer toadjust the seat depth individually.
Adapting the seat to the user's seating position depends on which seat has been fitted, and should
be carried out in the following sequence.
1. Adjusting the seat height
2. Adjusting the center of gravity of the seat frame
3. Adjusting the seat
4. Checking that the swivel castors can move freely
5. Repetition of steps 2 to 4, if necessary
WARNING!
Danger of injury hazard after tilting of mobility caused by blocked steering wheels.
· Always check the seat depth settings for both forward and reverse movement.Make sure that
steering wheels can rotate freely and have not contact to any fixed mobility device
component.
WARNING: Danger of crushing!
The seat is very heavy. Danger of injury to hands and feet!
· Let a second person help you.
What needs to be observed when adjusting the seat depth?
If the seat depth is too short, the force required when the user stands up is too high. If the seat
depth is set too long, the user may "slump down" while getting up.
