Assessing for additional lateral trunk support
1. The LSW, Lateral Support Wedge, is a set of additional sup-
ports that Velcro® inside of pockets sewn into the Back
cover behind the lateral walls of the Deep Contour foam
insert. LSW sets are appropriate when the user's trunk is
substantially narrower than the width of the Deep Contour
Back. The LSW's fit between the back foam at the lateral
wall and the inside of the Back shell. The LSW's help narrow
the back width to help increase trunk stability.
2. Detach the Back foam insert from the Back shell.
3. Locate the pockets (see illustration 1 & 2 of Figure 12) in the
cover at the lateral walls of the cushion.
4. Insert the left support into the left pocket (Fig. 12) and the
right support into the right pocket.
5 Re-attach the Deep Contour foam insert. Adjust as necessary.
NOTE–
When the Deep Contour Back is fully assembled, no accessories are
visible. It is very easy to re-assess and adjust the fitting because the
cover never has to be removed from the foam insert. The user never
needs to move from the wheelchair.
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Following installation and adjustment, the back can be easily
removed from the wheelchair if necessary. Simply rotate the top
quick-release quarter turn brackets away from the top hooks and
lift the back up and out of the wheelchair. To replace, lower the
bottom pins into the lower post brackets and rock the back back-
ward until it rests against the upright posts. Rotate the quick-
release brackets into the "Down" position. When installed correct-
ly, the quick-release bracket should cover the top hook. The Back
angle will not change when removed and re-installed on the wheel-
chair.

wheelchair back cane is turned downward in its locked position.
