Quickie Salsa R2 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 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.
