support bushings, after which
the hydraulic backrest is bolted with three bolts
on each side of the seat frame.
The position of the backrest can be adjusted
according to the seat depth.

wheelchair if a hydraulic backrest is fitted. Move
the rear wheels to the rear axle position to ensure
maximum stability.
