F. BACK ANGLE PERFORMANCE
Folding and Unfolding the Backrest
1. Release the backrest by pulling the release cord (A) with a simple, short force.
2. While maintaining tension on the release cord, rotate the backrest to the desired angle
or to the folded down position.
3. Lock the backrest in place by releasing the cord and allowing the pins (B) to engage in
the nearest hole (C) of the backrest bracket (D).
CAUTION– Be sure the pins (B) are fully engaged through the backrest bracket (D) on both sides of the
chair. Test the backrest to be sure it is locked before use.
CAUTION – When changing the back angle of the wheelchair both the left and right angle adjustable back
bracket must be in the same hole position before the wheelchair is to be used.
Adjusting Backrest Options
The backrest bracket has two positions, A or B, that can be achieved by removing bolt "E"
and pivoting the bracket forward or rearward. With the bracket in the desired position, rein-
sert and tighten the bolt. Then follow the instructions for "Folding and Unfolding the
Backrest".
A= Forward Mount. B= Rearward Mount
Backrest Angle Preset Plugs
The preset plugs allow you to unemploy the backrest bracket holes you do not wish to use.
This allows the backrest to automatically lock into your desired angle position after unfolding.
1. Determine which backrest bracket holes you do not want to use.
2. Insert plugs (F) into the predetermined holes from the chair side of the bracket (G).
3. To ensure the backrest will lock in the folded position, do not insert a plug into the
lowest hole position (H).
Non-folding back instructions
1. Remove backrest bracket bolt (I).
2. Rotate the backrest to the desired angle.
3. Align desired backrest bracket hole with seat frame opening.
4. Reinsert bolt and tighten.
CAUTION – When changing the back angle of the wheelchair both the left and right angle adjustable back
bracket must be in the same hole position before the wheelchair is to be used.
G. SEAT SLING ADJUSTMENT
Remove the bolts (J) and rear bolt nut (K) to allow seat upholstery (L) to be removed from
frame. Retain plastic saddles (not shown) for placement between seat sling and frame. Repeat
steps for other side.
To reattach seat sling, place seat sling (L) over chair frame. Line up seat sling and plastic sad-
dles. Replace the screws (J) and rear nut (K) and tighten accordingly. If there is any difficulty
in reattaching the screws, try using a probe to help align the holes. Ensure that the plastic
saddles are under the seat rail in all fastener positions.
