Back Upholstery
(TR Series, YG Series, YR Series, ZR Series, Aero Z,
BB and Evo)
Note: When adjusting the tension of the back
upholstery, DO NOT apply so much tension that the
back canes are pulled out of vertical. If this occurs, you
may cause the chair to "track" improperly or to develop
a "floater."

Adjusting the Tension

Figure 55
1. Lift the back flap to expose the back straps/backrest
ears (which are adjustable using Velcro). See Figure
56.
2. Completely detach the back upholstery from the
back straps/backrest ears. Do not remove the back
straps/backrest ears from the back canes.
3. Adjust to the desired tautness by loosening the
Velcro back straps and then pulling on the loose end
to pull the backrest ears closer together. Tighter
back upholstery will increase the stability and
maintain normal maneuverability of the chair
because the user is pushed forward slightly. Looser
back upholstery will increase maneuverability, but
will make the chair more prone to tip over backward
because additional weight is being distributed onto
the rear wheels.
4. Align the top of the back upholstery with the
uppermost back strap.
5. Securely velcro the back upholstery to the back
straps/backrest ears and lower the back flap back
into position in front of the rigidizer bar.

Replacing the Upholstery

1. Lift the back flap to expose the back straps/backrest
ears (which are adjustable using Velcro). See Figure
57.
2. Completely detach the back straps/backrest ears
from the back upholstery and remove them from the
back canes.
3. Remove the seat cushion.
4. Detach the back upholstery from the seat upholstery
Figure 56
by separating the Velcro at the underside of the seat
upholstery. Note: On YG Series chairs, the back
upholstery attaches to the top of the seat upholstery.
5. Attach new back upholstery to seat upholstery at the
underside of the seat upholstery. Note: On YG
Series chairs, the back upholstery attaches to the
top of the seat upholstery.
6. Install the new back straps/backrest ears on the
back canes.
