Seat Angle; Backrest Angle - B+B Triton Manual De Instrucciones

TRITON
| Multifunctional wheelchair

4.8. Seat angle

• The seat angle of the Triton wheelchair can be variably adjusted
from 0° bis 15° (Fig. 19).
• However, the angle between the backrest and the seat will remain
unchanged.

• On the right push handle there is a release lever which must be used
to adjust the seat angle (Fig. 20).
• he gas pressure cylinder supports the adjustment of the seat angle.
• Let go of the release lever and the position of the seat angle will
remain in place.

4.9. Backrest angle

20
• The backrest angle of the Triton wheelchair can be variably adjusted
backwards from 3° - 43° (Fig. 21).
• However, the angle of the seat to the ground will remain unchanged.
• On the left push handle there is a release lever which must be used
to adjust the seat angle (Fig. 22).
• The gas pressure cylinder supports the adjustment of the backrest
angle.
21 • When you let go of the release lever, the position of the seat angle
will remain in place.

4.10. Locking/parking brake
The Triton wheelchair is equipped with a wheel lock, which can be
controlled by the person sitting in the wheelchair. It must only be
used to park the wheelchair. It is not suitable for slowing down the
wheelchair while it is in motion! The push handles should be used for
this purpose by applying light pressure on the push handles with the
palm of your hands.
After the wheelchair is slowed down this way, you can then apply both
wheel locks by pushing the brake levers forward.The wheelchair is now
safely held in place.
The distance between the pivot bolt and the tyre cover must be X= 16
mm at the narrowest point when the braking mechanism is opened to
its maximum position (Fig. 23).
• To adjust the distance, loosen the two fixing screws on the brake
mounting.
• You can then slide the braking system along the mounting into the
correct position.
• The braking bolt must be aligned horizontally so that it is parallel
to the ground surface.
• Then re-tighten both Allen hexagon screws again.
• Make sure that the brake fully locks into place when the lever is
operated and that it does not snap back.
To ensure the brake operates to its maximum capa-
bility, the tyre pressure must be 300 - 400 kPa (3-4
bar) for pneumatic tyres. If the tyre pressure is not
as specified, there is a loss of braking efficiency.
