Preparing your wheelchair for use
Never attempt to adjust the
seat angle with the user still
occupying the chair. Never
attempt to drive the
wheelchair with set angle in
excess of 15° from horizontal.
Removal of seat frame
To remove the seat frame press
down the finger bar and pull
backwards to release the seat stem
and lift the seat upwards until it can
be raised no further. With the tip of
the seat stem resting in it’s
receiving hole, pull the whole seat
gently towards you (lifting at the
same time) until the seat is clear of
the powerbase.
Seat pan height adjustment
In addition to being able to adjust
the single angle of the seat pan to
the power base by selection of the
appropriate hole in the seat stem,
the height of the complete seat pan
can be adjusted to suit the chair
user (Fig. 8). The chair will normally
be supplied with the seat pan at its
lowest setting. To raise the rear of
the seat pan, remove two nuts and
bolts at either end of the seat
location bar. The seat location bar
may now be raised to the desired
level and bolts reinserted.
Having raised the seat location bar,
it will be necessary to select a
higher position with the seat stem.
Armrests/skirt guard
To fit the armrest/skirt guard
assembly, ensure that locking pin (A)
(Fig. 9) is in the ‘unlocked’ position
shown. Lower the armrest into the
support cups and press down to
ensure a firm location. Release the
locking pin lever to lock position. To
adjust the height of the armrest pull
back the lever of locking pin (B) and
hold. Lift or lower armrest to the
required position and release pin to
lock position, check armrest has
seated properly.
