3.6.5 Backrest height
To adjust the height of the backrest (stepless, range
of 110 mm):
1. Loosen the 4 star knobs (7).
2. Slide the backrest up/down until the desired
position.
3. Retighten the star knobs. Make sure that the
backrest is well secured.
Optional side pelots are not compatible with the lower
position of the backrest.
3.7 Standing / upright function
Risk of injury
• The standing/upright function must only ever be used when someone is supervising.
• The standing/upright function may not be used unless the chest belt and knee protector have
been secured. The manufacturer accepts no liability for use of the standing/upright function
without the chest belt and knee protector.
• The standing/upright function may only be used if all four of the wheelchair's wheels are in
contact with a level surface (and while being used on the two support wheels).
• Make sure that no objects, persons or body parts are inside the movement range of the
upright function.
• Ensure that the steering cables do not get caught during the upright function, as this could
damage the product.
• Driving should only take place in the seated position. The drive program should not be used
during the standing / upright function. Reduced drive should be deployed only for altering
position during the standing / upright function.
• Only loosen the chest belt and the knee protector again when the wheelchair has been
returned to the seated position.
Forest 3 SU has been programmed with some added constraints to ensure your safety:
• Driving at full speed is only possible when the leg rests are positioned at an angle of
more than 6°. To prevent damage to the leg rests or support wheels, the speed is
automatically lowered when the leg rests are positioned at a lower angle.
• Adjusting to the standing/upright position is only possible when the leg rests/backrest
are adjusted to standard seating position. In case the backrest has been inclined, or the
leg rests have been lowered, the seat can only be raised until it forms an angle of 180°
with the leg rests/backrest to prevent injury.
• It is not possible to raise the leg rests when the seat has been raised (in preparation for
the standing/upright position).
Follow this sequence when using the standing/upright function:
