4.6. Adjustable seat and back

4.6.1. Seat slack

The seat surface should always be tensioned to sufficient tautness.
However, ensure that there is sufficient slack in the area of the pelvis.
• First completely remove the pad layer of the seat cover (Fig. 27).
• Now retighten the tensioning straps that have become loose over
time (Fig. 29).
• Place the pad layer of the seat cover back over the tensioning
straps.

4.6.2. Backrest
A well-adjusted backrest makes it easier to sit continuously in a relaxed
position and is effective at reducing the risk of pressure sores. Ensure
that there is sufficient slack in the area of the pelvis.
First completely remove the pad layer of the back cover (Fig. 29).
Undo the Velcro straps of the tensioning straps (Fig. 30).
The straps are adjusted one by one, starting from the bottom.

4.7. Brakes

The BX 11 is.equipped with parking brakes for user operation as
standard. The option of equipping it with drum brakes for operation by
an accompanying person is available.

4.7.1. Setting the parking brake

The parking brake should only be used for parking. It is not suitable
for braking while driving! Use the push rims on the drive wheels for
that purpose. To decelerate, you grasp the highest point of the push
rims with your hands and let them be carried along by the wheel (Fig.
30). The push rims initially slide between your hands. Depending on
the force you exert when holding the push rims, you can change the
braking force from controlled deceleration to a sudden stop.
After the wheelchair has been decelerated in this way, activate both
tyre brakes by pushing the brake lever forwards. The wheelchair is now
securely braked (Fig. 31).
Pull the lever back towards you to release the brake (Fig. 32).
