SEAT ANGLE

An attendant can use the pneumatic spring to angle the seat unit, gradually, up to 12°, into the most
comfortable position, and to angle it forwards up to 3° to assist the patient to get in and out of the
chair.
With your foot, gently press downwards the release lever (highlighted in blue) on the right rear wheel
for the seat angle and adjust the seat unit to the position you want, by clutching the handle and
pushing the seat down or pulling it up. To fix it in the position you want, take your foot off the release
lever.
L
Ensure that the rear wheel is not underneath the blue release lever, blocking it.
L
Take care, when adjusting the seat angle, that the wheelchair does not start moving if the
brake is not holding it in place.
If you wish to move a patient, you should always select a gentle seat angle or the footplate (if
in use) will drag along the ground while doing so.
