E. BACK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (FIGURES 7 & 8)
Adjusting the Back Angle
1. Using a 4mm Allen Key and 10mm wrench on opposite side completely remove the
pivot screw (A) that attaches the back tube (C) to angle adjustable backrest bracket
(B).
2. For folding back, loosen but don't remove cam stop (D) using a 4mm Allen Key and
wrench. For non folding back, loosen but don't remove 6mm socket screw (E) and
loosen but don't remove both lower 6mm button head screws (F)
3. Determine new angle by aligning the upper hole in the backrest tube (C) with the
different holes in the backrest bracket (B).
4. Once proper hole is determined, while aligning hole in one end of the pivot washer
with proper hole, insert pivot screw (A) through proper hole in outside wall of back-
rest bracket (B) and through the hole in pivot washer. Continue to feed screw
through both walls of backrest tube (C). Wrap pivot washer around front of backrest
tube and align remaining hole in pivot washer with proper hole on the inner wall of
backrest bracket (B).
5. Once in place using a 4mm Allen Key and 10mm wrench tighten the pivot screw (A)
back into place.
NOTE–
For folding back, do not over tighten. Backrest must be allowed to fold easily.
6. Repeat procedure to the other side of the wheelchair.
7. Adjust and tighten cam stops for both sides of the wheelchair (D), see steps below
for folding back. For non folding back tighten 6mm socket screw (E) and tighten
6mm button head screws (F) back into place.
CAUTION –
When changing the back angle of the wheelchair both the left and right angle adjustable
back bracket must be in the same hole position (see steps 3 &4) before the wheelchair is
to be used.
Adjusting the Cam Stop (Folding Back Option Only)
1. Once the proper back angle is set tighten the cam stop screw (D) back into place
2. Using a 10mm open-ended wrench on the inner hex drive of the cam stop, rotate the
cam stop to eliminate excessive play in the back tube. Verify that backrest latches
into place. If backrest will not latch, adjust cam away from tube until back tube
latches freely, while still minimizing play in the backrest.
3. Check that the cam stop screw is tightened into place. (D)
