Seat depth adjustment
The seat depth is adjusted by removing
the 4 screws and nuts, (2 each side) and
sliding the backrest into the appropriate
position. Once in the desired position, the
screws are replaced, remembering to
securely tighten the nuts (Fig. 25). When
the seat riser option is fitted, the seat
depth is adjusted by moving the padded
back forward or backward with the
brackets which slide along the backrest
tubes. The adjustments must be carried
out only by an approved Sunrise
Medical service agent.
Backrest removal and refitting
Although there are a variety of backrests
which can be used on the F55 chair,
they all attach and release in the same
way.
Remove the seat cushion, to free the
Velcro
®
strips on the backrest flap (Fig.
24).
Loosen the two knobs as shown in (Fig.
24A), and pull the backrest up to
disengage it from its mounting.
To replace reverse the process,
ensuring that the backrest is correctly
located, and that the locking knobs are
firmly tightened.
