V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
O. Backrest
1. Folding Backrest Down
a. If chair is equipped with a fold down backrest, push levers
(Fig. 30:A) toward the front of the chair to disengage the
latches. If backrest seating is attached, both latches must be
disengaged simultaneously in order to allow the backrest to
fold.
b. Push forward on the backrest to rotate it downward. Once it
begins to rotate forward, the latch levers may be released.
2. Angle Adjustment
a. Using a 4mm Allen wrench and a 10mm wrench, remove but-
ton head screws (Fig. 31:A) with their washers and nuts.
b. Rotate backrest to desired angle. Each hole represents 5° of
rotation. The upper row of holes correspond to -5°, 5°, 15°
and 25°, and the lower row of holes correspond to 0° (verti-
cal), 10° and 20° (See Fig. 32).
c. Replace button head screw and tighten with washer and nut.
d. Repeat for opposite side of chair.
