backrest

height-adjustable push handles
(Fig.6.24)
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out uninten tion ally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes it
possible to adjust the push handles
to meet your individual needs. As
you move the lever, you will hear a
locking mecha nism; you may now
easily position the push handle as
desired. The nut (2) on the tension
lever determines how tightly the push handles are clamp ed into
place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from
side to side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely
enough into place. After adjusting handle height, always clamp
the tension lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not
secure, injuries could result when ascending stairs.
fold-down push handles
(Fig.6.25)
If the push handles are not in
use, they can be folded down by
depressing the button (2). When
they are needed again, simply
flip them back up until they click
into place.
