Seat and Backrest Adjustment

Before seating yourself into your powerchair, please make sure it is not switched on. If it is switched
on, the battery condition indicator (fuel gauge) will be illuminated.
Seat Depth Adjustment - 3.5cm
The individual fitting of the firm backrest allows the seat depth to be adjusted by 3.5cm. The
adjustment, which is usually only done once, is carried out as follows. You will need a large
cross-headed screwdriver and a 13mm spanner.
1 Prise off plastic cap at point A, unscrew and remove the screw and nut, repeat each side.
2 Move the backrest mounting bracket backwards to the extended position. Replace the nut and
screw into the selected hole and firmly fasten, replace plastic cap, repeat each side.
WARNING:
It should be noted that under certain conditions, and configurations of the wheelchair, i.e. for users
with limited / no lateral body control, and with the backrest in the reclined position, there is the
potential to create a body trap between the armrest / sidepanel and the backrest.
Suitable accessories are available from Invacare (lateral trunk supports) to eliminate this risk.
Firm Backrest Angle Adjustment (where applicable)
The backrest angle can be adjusted from 90° (degrees) rearwards through 12°. The adjustment,
which is normally only done once, is carried out in the following sequence (see diagram) with the aid
of a 13mm spanner and the cross-headed screwdriver. Do the same adjustment for both sides.
