2.6Safety Information on Wheelchairs with Recaro Seats

Danger of injury if the wheelchair tips over!

The centre of gravity of a Recaro seat is higher than that of other seats. The Recaro seat is also heavier than other seating systems. The backrests of RECARO seats can be leaned back 90°. For these reasons there is an increased risk of tipping over!

•Never lean the backrest backward more than 30° degrees, and never exceed 15° when driving the wheelchair!

More than 30°	15°-30°	0°-15°
NEVER!!	Standstill!	Driving
