Tension Adjustable By Straps Back Upholstery

Note: When adjusting the tension of the back upholstery, DO NOT apply so much tension that the backrest tubes are pulled
out of vertical. If this occurs, you may cause the chair to "track" improperly or to develop a "floater."

Adjusting the Tension

1. Lift the back flap to expose the backrest ears. See Figure 7-4.
2. Completely detach the padded back from the backrest ears. Do not remove the backrest ears from the backrest.
3. Adjust to the desired tautness by loosening the ear 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 padded back with the two backrest ears.
5. If desired, adjust the tension on the strap(s).
6. Securely attach the padded back to the backrest ears and lower the back flap back into position in front of the rigidizer bar.
