M. Reclining Backrest
WARNING: Back height, back angle, seat depth, tilt angle, recline angle, seat height,
size/position of rear wheels, size/position of front casters and any added weight to the back of the
chair such as accessories, backpacks and oxygen tanks all relate to and affect the stability of the
wheelchair. Any adjustments or change to one or more of the items listed above can decrease the
stability of the wheelchair. Take caution when making changes to the above items. Consult a
qualified technician when adjusting back height, back angle, seat depth, seat height, size/position
of rear wheels and size/position of front casters. Inappropriate adjustments can result in serious
injury.
Reclining Back Notes for Operation
1. After making any adjustments to the system make sure all attaching hardware is securely
tightened.
2. Always make sure the wheelchair is stable in the fully reclined position. Depending on the
angle of the backrest, the full recline position can be 85°, 75° or 65° and is relative to the full
upright position. Full upright position is measured as 0°.
3. In order to ensure maximum safety and security for the patient in the chair, it is important to
make sure the patient is properly positioned before reclining or inclining (sitting up) the
backrest.
4. Always engage the wheel locks while reclining or inclining to ensure maximum safety of the
patient.
5. Before using the reclining backrest, make sure that the anti-tippers are adjusted properly to
ensure the wheelchair will not become unstable when in use. See anti-tip instructions on page
42 of this owner's manual.
DANGER: Tilting or reclining the chair beyond level greatly increases the risk of falling out of the
chair, which can result in serious injury or death.
