CHAPTER 7:
BACK UPHOLSTERY, SEAT UPHOLSTERY AND SEAT CUSHIONS
Padded Nylon Back Upholstery
(2GX, Aero X, SX and X)
Replacing the Upholstery
Tools Needed:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Scissors
1. Remove the seat cushion.
2. Cut the plastic ties that secure the bottom of the back upholstery to
the frame. See Figure 38.
3. Remove the screw that secures the upholstery to each back cane.
See Figure 38.
4. Slide the upholstery off the back canes.
5. Slide new upholstery onto the back canes.
6. Secure the upholstery to the back canes with the screws removed in
Step 3.
7. Secure the bottom of back upholstery to the seat frame with new
plastic ties.
8. Replace the seat cushion.
Note: If your chair has push handles, you will not be able to slide the
back upholstery off the top of the back canes. Instead, you will need to
remove the back canes. See "Adjustable Height Backrest (Straight or 8º
Bend) (With or Without Integrated Push Handles) (SX and X)" on pages
28 and 29 or "Adjustable Height Backrest (Straight or 8º Bend) (With or
Without Integrated Push Handles) (2GX and Aero X) on pages 28 and
29. Then you can slide the back upholstery off the bottom end of the back
canes and install the new upholstery in this manner as well.
Tension Adjustable Back Upholstery (Straps)
(2GX, Aero X, SX, TX, X and XC)
Adjusting the Tension
1. Lift the back flap to expose the back straps/backrest ears (which are
adjustable using "hook & loop" material). See Figure 39.
2. Completely detach the back upholstery from the back straps/backrest
ears. Do not remove the back straps/backrest ears from the back
canes.
3. Adjust to the desired tautness by loosening the back 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. It may also make unfolding and folding the chair more
difficult. 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 back upholstery with the uppermost back strap.
5. Securely attach the back upholstery to the back straps/backrest ears
using the "hook & loop" material and lower the back flap back into
position.
