SECTION 7—SEAT

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching

hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

rear of the top crossbar for proper installation.

support brackets (adjustable backs only).

straps hang over the right and left sides of the wheelchair.
