handling. Your Motus adaptive wheelchair offers many options that permit the wheelchair to be
adapted according to your requirements. We recommend consulting with your dealer or therapist

6.1 Adjusting seat height and seat inclination

The higher the rear wheel is attached to the frame, the more the seat inclines downward. This
has two effects:
• First, the wheelchair has a greater tendency to tilt backwards.
• Secondly, the user sits deeper in the wheelchair and thus has more stability.
A careful and synchronised height adjustment of both the rear wheels and the casters will allow
to adapt the seat height to the user's individual requirements.
The Motus offers the possibility to change vertical position of the rear wheel by shifting the rear
wheel adapter along the frame. Loosen all four screw connections and remove the screws. Shift
the adapter to the desired position and firmly retighten the screws.
To achieve additional rear wheel positions, the rear wheel adapter can be turned by 180°.
