Adjustable Backrest Upholstery (Fig. 4.18)
The sling can be adapted to any degree of tension
by adjusting the Velcro fasten ers. The padding in the
backrest can be removed through an interior opening,
allowing you to cushion the backrest according to your
individual needs.
NOTE!
Too high tension on the adjustable backrest
upholstery will have a negativ impact on the folding
performance of your wheelchair.
Sideguard
Sideguard, Aluminum, Bolt-On with Cold-Weather
Protection (Fig. 4.19)
Clothing guards (optional) prevent water from splashing
up and soiling clothing.
Their position relative to the rear wheels can be set by
adjusting the sideguards.
To do this, remove the screws (1 and 2). The armrests
(optional) can be adjusted to the desired height after the
screws have been removed. When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly tightened (see the
page on torque).
CAUTION:
Neither the sideguards nor the armrests are to be used
for lifting or carrying the wheelchair.
Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push Handles (Fig. 4.20)
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them
from sliding out uninten tion ally. Opening the quick-
release lever (1) makes it possible to adjust the push
handles to meet your individual needs. As you move the
lever, you will hear a locking mecha nism; you may now
easily position the push handle as desired. The nut (2) on
the tension lever determines how tightly the push handles
are clamp ed into place. If the nut is loose after adjust ing
the tension lever, the push handle will also be too loose.
Turn the push handle from side to side before use to
make sure that it is clamped securely enough into place.
CAUTION!
After adjusting handle height, always clamp the tension
lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not secure,
injuries could result when lifting over obstacles.
CAUTION!
Check the clamping force (screws) of the adjustable push
handles before use
