Seating

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.

NOTE

Please note this does not apply to the Recaro Seat option.

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.
