ADJUSTING/REPLACING BACK UPHOLSTERY (FIGURE 1)
The position of the footrest, camber tube and rear seat height, the tautness of
the back upholstery, as well as the user's condition are directly related to the
chairs stability. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the five (5) may
cause the chair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a
new seating position.
ADJUSTING BACK UPHOLSTERY
1. Unlatch the two (2) fastening flaps that secure the top of the back upholstery to the back canes.
2. Align the top of the back upholstery with the fastening flaps ensuring the top of the back
upholstery is even with the top of the back canes.
3. Adjust to the desired tautness.
TIGHTER back upholstery will increase the stability and maintain normal maneuverabil-
ity of the chair because the user is pushed forward in the chair slightly.
LOOSER back upholstery will increase the maneuverability and make the chair more
prone to tipping because additional weight is being distributed onto the rear wheels.
4. Securely latch the back upholstery to the fastening flaps.
NOTE: Make sure the rear retaining flap is BETWEEN the chair frame and the back cane support
brackets.
