3.7 Seat depth
The wheelchair is always delivered with the
maximum possible seat depth. To reduce the
seat depth, first remove the leg supports. Next,
open the Velcro straps on the right and left of
the seat frame. (Fig. 14).
Secure the Velcro straps to the extension so
that they are no longer wrapped around the
frame. Fold the extension beneath the seat
and fasten the Velcro straps to secure it there.
(Fig. 15).
Carry the procedure out in the opposite se-
quence to increase the seat depth.
03 SETTING UP THE WHEELCHAIR

mechanism backwards. (1, Fig. 13).
2. Move the foot plate into a position that is
comfortable for you and release the locking
mechanism again. The mechanism automat-
ically locks in the next position. (2, Fig. 13).

curely again. Fig.13
