V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
L. Backrest
1. Folding Backrest Down
a. If chair is equipped with a fold down backrest, push
levers (Fig. 18:A) toward the front of the chair to dis-
engage the latches. If backrest seating is attached,
both latches must be disengaged simultaneously in
order to allow the backrest to fold.
b. Push forward on the backrest to rotate it downward.
Once it begins to rotate forward, the latch levers may
be released.
2. Angle Adjustment
a. Using a 4mm Allen wrench and a 10mm wrench,
remove button head screws (Fig. 19:A) with their
washers and nuts.
b. Rotate backrest to desired angle. Each hole rep-
resents 5° of rotation. The upper row of holes corre-
spond to -5°, 5°, 15° and 25° and the lower row of
holes correspond to 0° (vertical), 10° and 20° (Fig.
20).
c. Replace button head screw and tighten with washer
and nut.
d. Repeat for opposite side of chair.
