Guide to Key Features

Locking the rear wheels
The rear wheels on the Multi Tilt can be locked to stop the chair from moving. Press the brake down to hold the wheel in to position. Pressing the rear edge of the brake releases the brake and frees the wheel for movement. Make sure the wheels are not locked when attempting to move the chair as this could cause damage to the rubber wheel.
8
Removing the seat cushion
The seat cushion can easily be removed by releasing the Velcro strip at the rear of the cushion which is located under the seat base. Simply pull the cushion towards you and release the Velcro from the front edge. The footrest may need to be elevated to gain easier access to this. For further seat cushion options see our brochure.
9
Changing the leg rest elevation
The side release handle allows the leg rest to elevate when lifted and for you to adjust the leg height positions. When released, this handle will lock the leg rest into position. To retract the footrest, release the handle and push with pressure to close the footrest. Please do not force the leg rest or sit on the leg rest when elevated, as this is likely to cause damage to the frame structure.

Manoeuvring your chair
Use the push handle at the rear of the chair to move the chair and the user. It is important to use the handle to move the chair, as using other parts of the chair could cause damage to the internal structure.
2
Changing the back cushions
The back cushions are attached with Velcro and can be changed to suit the user and the required seating posture. See our brochure for available back options. Ensure the Velcro is kept clean from fluff to avoid damage.

Changing the back angle of
the chair
Attached to the Push Handle at the rear of the chair is a brake lever. Squeeze the break lever and hold to release the Push Handle. Gently push down on the Push Handle to tilt the chair. Release the break lever to lock the chair in to position.
Once your tilt position has been achieved the angle of the leg rest can be adjusted for comfort and support. See point 9.

Adjusting the footplate height
The footplate height is changed by pulling both the left and the right plungers either side of the plate. The plungers release the footrest and allow the footplate to slide up or down to the required height.
Lock the footplate into position by ensuring the plungers click into the required slots.
5
Adjusting the footplate angle
Pull the right plunger to release and twist slightly to lock the plunger out, now do the same again with the left plunger. This will allow the footrest to be completely folded away or to be adjusted to two different positions to rest the feet. The footplate can also be removed if required.
6
Adjusting the seat depth
The seat depth is adjusted at the rear of the chair by using the red locking button. Pull the locking button to release the lock position and whilst holding the handle pull or push the mechanism to achieve the required position. Secure this position by releasing the red locking button so that it locks into the required slot. Please ensure the seat depth is secured into position before anyone sits in the chair.
