A. INSTALLING THE BASIC BACK WITH STRAP ATTACHMENT
Please read the following instructions before beginning the installation. To install the Basic
Back, it is best to begin without a user in the wheelchair. Once the back has been
installed the user can be seated back in the wheelchair for minor adjustments. The strap
attachment version of the Basic Back is mounted over, or on top of the standard sling
upholstery that typically is shipped on most wheelchairs. For this version do not remove
the existing sling upholstery.
1. Installation:
a. Loosen both left and right straps (A) to the width of the back canes on your chair.
b. Slide the straps over both back canes.
c. Secure the back by tightening the straps. Do not overtighten the straps, check to
make sure the back canes are parallel after the adjustment is made.
2. Removal:
a. Remove the back by unsnapping the plastic buckles on each side (B)
b. Lift the back off the chair.
B. INSTALL BASIC BACK WITH CLAMP HARDWARE
Please read the following instructions before beginning the installation. To install the Basic
Back with clamp hardware, it is best to begin without a user in the wheelchair. Once the
back has been installed the user can be seated back in the wheelchair for minor adjustments.
1. Prepare the chair for the Basic Back
a. Measure the width of the Back (C) and the size of the tubing (D) before starting
this installation for your chair.
b. Remove the sling upholstery from the wheelchair according to the wheelchair
manufacturers instructions.
c. If an aftermarket cushion is going to be used on the chair, ensure that it is placed
on the wheelchair to ensure proper back height placement.
2. Locating and attaching the hardware receivers
a. Visually determine the approximate location for the receivers on the wheelchair's
back canes.
b. The mounting hardware should be at about the same height on each backpost and
parallel to the seat frame.
c. Attach the hardware receivers by removing the screws and wrapping the hinge
around the wheelchair back canes.
d. Use the shorter screws provided to secure the clamps to 7/8" tubing, and use the
longer screws provided to secure the clamps to a 1" tube.
e. The hinge and tapered attachment must be aligned when assembling the screws.
The tapered attachment should be facing upwards and the hinge should be facing
forward.
f. Place the pin in slot (E) for 7/8" tubing, and slot (F) for 1" Tubing.
NOTE – A higher location on the back canes are generally better.
