Fitting/Removing the
Thoracic Support
The thoracic support is an independent unit which can be added to,
or removed from, the hip support.
When fitting, remove the black dust caps which may be fitted into
the slotted vertical tubes of the saddle unit. Slide the chrome tubes
of the thoracic support into the slotted vertical tubes. Put the curved
washers onto the handwheel stems. Fit the handwheels through the
slots and into the threaded holes in the chromed tubes.
To remove the thoracic support, undo the handwheels completely
and lift it out of the slotted tubes. Re-fit the handwheels, along with
the shoulder washers, into the chrome tubes for safe keeping.

Soft Chest Plate

A soft chest plate can be used if the user has very low tone and has
a tendency to lean forward or slouch.
The soft chest plate fits onto the webbing belt of a thoracic supports,
making the belt wider and thus providing greater support for the user.
To fit the soft chest plate, the webbing belt from the thoracic
supports needs to be removed. Pay close attention to how the belt
is threaded through the slots in the lateral supports so that it can
be easily re-fitted.
Fit the loose end of the webbing belt beneath one of the loops on
the soft chest plate.
Re-fit the webbing belt through the thoracic support laterals.
Once the user is on the trike, the loose end of the webbing belt
can be fitted through the other loop of the chest plate and through
the buckle.
