EBAPUM-010502000.nl.doc
2.2.1 Adjusting the seat height
• See fig. 010502010.
A ood seat hei ht settin is important to be able to easily take a
seat at tables and desks. A minimum seat hei ht is also important
in order to keep the footplates free from round obstructions
(thresholds, curbs etc).
The seat hei ht will enerally be an avera e level between these
two.
The seat hei ht of the Puma Kinetic wheelchair can be adjusted
to five levels.
The chair is installed on an interface, which is equipped with
tubin . This interface can be adjusted on the carrier to 5 different
hei hts, in 25 mm steps. Dependin on the desired seat hei ht
the interface can be adjusted one or more holes: upward or
downward.
For the seat hei ht adjustment you should leave the
wheelchair. The adjustment must be done as follows:
• Loosen the Allen bolts (A) on both sides of the carrier with an Allen key with a key width of 8 mm and
remove them.

Adjustment options
Version 2011v1 15
When removing the second Allen bolt the chair can slide downward and your fingers may get
caught between the carrier and the interface. Hold the chair so that it cannot slide during this
procedure.
A bush can be slid over each bolt. Should a bush come out when takin out a bolt, slide the bush back onto the
bolt.
• Bring the chair (B) up to the desired height.
• Replace the Allen bolts and tighten them securely.
EBAPUM-010502010.nl.doc
2.2.2 Adjusting the seat depth
• See fig. 010502020.
The seat depth can be adjusted between approximately 44 cm
and 52 cm (17' and 20') by shiftin the backrest.
The seat depth adjustment should be done as follows:
• Loosen the locking bolts (A) on both sides of the
chair frame a half turn (180°) loose with an Allen key
with a key width of
mm.
• Slide the backrest (B) to the desired depth.
To promote good circulation in your legs and
not restrict the nerves, we recommend at
