The B 500/B 500-S offers numerous adjustment possibilities. Aspects such as seat height, seat width and seat
angle are set according to the placed order and can only be changed by the authorized dealer. However, users
can vary the back angle, change the armrest height and lower leg length and remove the footrests and armrests.

9.1 Back

The back can be adjusted to four different angle positions by pulling the release strap located at the base of
the back. Once the back is at the desired angle, the locks snap into the next stop as soon as the strap is again
released.
