MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE BACK

for a max. of 30°. Loosen the screw handles (1) on both sides of the backframe till you can move it
freely. Set the back to the desired position and securely retighten the screw handles (1) on both sides
of the backframe. Check whether the backframe is tight.

Before using the wheelchair, check that the safety screws (1) on both sides of the backframe
have been tightened properly, otherwise the back might come loose, damage the chair and
hurt the user.
For transportation purposes the back section is removable.
Loosen the levers (1) to lift the entire back section and its
tubing out. Now it is easy to push the wheelchair into a car by
means of a ramp, for example. For driving, insert the back
tubes evenly and fully on both sides into the frame
receptacles. Levers (1) must then be retightened properly.
Before use, check that the back is fixed properly to the back
tubing. If it is loose, retighten the safety screws (2) which fix
the back to the back tubing.
