VI. BASIC INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
A. BASIC INSTALLATION
Headrest mount and head support components will attach to most back support shells. The
process is generally straightforward and simple, as long as the holes are aligned between the
back and headrest mount.
1. Start by locating the appropriate mount and hardware for your particular head sup-
port system. Refer to "Your Head Support and its Parts" section for a good compari-
son of which mount goes with which specific headrest. The Cobra Xtra is used as an
example in the following steps.
2. If necessary, remove the back support cover and backrest pad to gain access to the
mounting area on the back shell.
3. Locate the mount attachment points (A) on the back support. Attach one of two
options: either the headrest mount (B), or Socket Head screws. Hand tighten all nuts
(C).
4. Using the appropriate wrench and/or hex key, tighten hardware to specified torque,
and check to make sure the mount is secure and does not move.
5. Loosely attach the lever (D) to the headrest mount.
6. Reattach the cover and/or pad.
7. Adjust the shaft collar (E) using a 3/32" hex key, to achieve the desired height for your
head support.
8. Insert the vertical headrest shaft (F) into the headrest mount (B). Once inserted,
adjust the height to fit the user measurement, and then hand-tighten the mount lever
(D). Make sure that the headrest support and pads are tight and secure.
B. BASIC ADJUSTMENT
Available headrest mounts, and head support components will adjust in several ways to give
the user maximum support in all the critical areas. Headrest mounts and pads have a nearly
universal adjustment to accomodate the user. The process is generally straightforward and
simple. Information and advice from a professional should be used in conjunction with care-
ful measurement in order to achieve a comfortable and supportive fit for the user.
Depth adjustment
1. Once the desired height of the support is achieved (Step 8 above), the next critical
adjustment is the depth of the head support. The AXYS (Figure 3) depth is adjusted
with the same general method as the ONYX and PRO styles.
2. Adjust the depth for these styles by using a 3/16" Hex key to loosen screw(s) (G). To
gain access to the depth adjustment screws on the PRO, remove the side covers.
3. Move the pad support hardware to desired depth. Once adjustment is complete,
tighten according to the torque specifications.
4. Depth adjustment for the Cobra Xtra Flipback (Figure 4) is adjusted with the same
general method as the Cobra Xtra, and LYNX styles, but may need some additional
angle adjustment to complete the fit.
Angle adjustment
1. LYNX, Cobra Xtra, and Cobra Xtra Flip back styles also allow a separate angle adjust-
ment. To adjust the angle, loosen screw (H), for adjustment. Once adjustment is com-
plete, tighten hardware according to the torque specifications.
Flip back the headrest with Cobra Xtra Flip Back
1. Flipping back the Cobra Xtra flip back headrest is as simple as pressing the release
button (I) on the side of the shaft and rotating the support backwards.
