NOTE: Fig. 18 is showing the hand tilt configuration. Fig 19 is showing the foot tilt
configuration.
1. To unlock the system prior to the recline or incline adjustment, remove the locking pin (Fig.
18:A) from the locking hole (Fig. 18:B) on each recline trigger.
2. Ensure wheel locks are engaged and the wheelchair is on a level surface.
3. Grip the handles securely and slowly depresss both reclining triggers (Fig. 19:A) at the same
time to release the gas cylinders. This will allow you to adjust the backrest position as
follows:
a. Reclining - to open the angle of the backrest relative to the seat frame, or recline, apply
downward force on the gas springs.
b. Inclining - return to the upright position by applying force upward and pushing the back-
rest towards the front of the backrest.
4. Once the desired backrest recline angle has been achieved, slowly release both of the
reclining triggers.
5. To lock the system, insert the locking pin into the locking pin hole. It is recommended that
you always lock both reclining backrest triggers when you are done positioning the patient.
