CHANGING SEAT DEPTH

WARNING

The seat height, seat depth, back angle, seating sys- tem, size and position of the rear wheels, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combi- nation of the seven (7) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by an authorized dealer or qualified tech- nician.

RECLINERS ONLY: NEVER use the rear two (2) recliner bracket mounting holes when using the recliner option. Using the rear two (2) recliner bracket mounting holes WILL make the wheel- chair less stable, possibly causing injury.

After adjustments and before use make sure all attaching hardware is securely tightened.

Below are some terms to help better understand changing seat depth:

SEAT RAIL - Removable portion of crossbrace. One

(1) of three (3) components that determine seat depth.

CROSSBRACE SADDLE - The part of the crossbrace that the seat rail mounts onto.

GAP - Approximate distance between the end of the seat rail and the footrest mounting tube.

REAR/FRONT MOUNTING HOLE - Position of the screw and washer on the underside of the wheelchair frame. One (1) of three (3) components that deter- mine seat depth.

NOTE: Use the checklist on the following page as a guide to changing the seat depth.
