Wheelchair Settings; Seat Angle, Seat Height; Seat Position And Centre Point Of Gravity Setting; Height And Depth Of The Controller - Scout X10 Serie Bedienungsanleitung

•
Use of the electrical adjustment options may influence the centre point of gravity. These
adjustments should only be made when the wheelchair is stationed on a flat surface.
•
Electrical adjustment options are linked to moving and/or rotating parts. Contact with
these moving parts may result in serious physical injury or damage to the wheelchair.
Contact with the moving parts of the wheelchair must be avoided.

Wheelchair settings

The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Scout Mobility B.V.wheelchairs can
be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and wheelchair
adjustment options. Settings are carried out only once and must be executed by qualified
specialists, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Adjustment options can
be carried out by the user. These adjustment options do not require the use of tools.
Only to be carried out by qualified specialists.

body. The following setting options are possible:
Seating system AGILO

Seat angle, seat height

Depending on the specific circumstances of the user of the wheelchair the seat height can be
set. Every optional seat heights stay within the 6˚ maximum safe slope of according to
EN12184 (2014) ClassB. Lowering the seat height has a positive influence on
the (dynamic) stability.
Enlarging the seat height has a negative influence on the (dynamic) stability, because the
centre point of gravity gets higher.
4.2

Seat position and centre point of gravity setting

The seat position and centre point of gravity can be adjusted. For this purpose there are 3
positions in the seat slide.
The wheelchair is designed and tested to be used in the standard position (middle
hole). Only change the seat position and centre point of gravity to compensate specific user
circumstances. For example: when a user has no legs.
Changing the seat position and centre point of gravity:
• Will have a negative influence on the driving characteristics of the wheelchair if used
wrong.
• Will have a negative influence on the (dynamic) stability of the wheelchair if used wrong.
In case of doubt contact Scout Mobility B.V.technical support for advice.
