7 Backrest
WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
It is important for regular inspection to be carried out on the Backrest for signs of visible
damage. If any repairs are required, these should be carried out by an INVACARE dealer.
It should be noted that under certain conditions and configuration 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 creat a body trap between the armrest / side panel and the backrest. Suitable
accessories are available from Invacare (lateral trunk supports) to eliminate this risk.

This adjustment should only be performed when the wheelchair

Take care not to damage any accessories fitted to the backrest.
