6 Seating
6.1 Firm seat board
The firm seat board is designed to allow pressure relief cushions
such as Jay to be used.
6.2 Seat cushions
Seat cushions supplied by Sunrise Medical will have Velcro®
strips that correspond to patches on the seat. You must ensure
these are aligned prior to using the wheelchair. Other cushions
used should also have Velcro® strips in a similar position to
ensure the cushion does not slip off the seat. The seat cushions,
supplied by Sunrise Medical all have removable covers.
6.3 Removable seat covers
The seat covers are all fully removable using zips or Velcro
®.
Once brackets are removed seat covers can be removed. The
zip for the backrest is located on the under side of the cushion.
6.4 Standard backrest upholstery
Salsa is supplied with optima backrest upholstery, which can be
adjusted in tension to the individual’s requirements.
Tension adjustable back:
To change the shape and/or tension of the ‘Optima’ backrest,
remove the padded cover from the rear of the backrest and
expose the tension straps. Loosen or tighten the straps to suit.
(The most comfortable and supportive position is achieved with
the wheelchair user seated in the chair). Ensure the straps are
securely fastened and replace the padded cover prior to use.

The standard backrest assembly will allow the fitting of a JAY
backrest, which is available as an optional extra.
