8. Secure the backrest ears with the screws removed in Step 3.
9. Install the new backrest upholstery over the backrest ears.
10. 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 (with or
without Integrated Push Handles) (TX and XC). 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.

WARNING
Do not make the seat sling upholstery tension so loose that it does not
properly support your weight. The sling should never be so loose that the
sling causes your weight to be borne by the cross-tubes below the seat
sling.
Adjusting the Tension
Tools required:
• 1/8" Allen Wrench
1. Remove the seat cushion.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen Screws on the side of the seat
upholstery where the "hook & loop" adjustment flap is located on the
underside of the seat upholstery. See Figure 41.
3. Detach the "hook & loop" adjustment flap and adjust the seat
upholstery to the desired tension.
4. Retighten the Allen Screws that attach the seat upholstery to the
frame. Note: this adjustment will be much easier if someone assists
you by retightening the Allen Screws while you hold the adjustment
flap at the desired tension.
5. Replace the seat cushion.
Replacing the Upholstery
Tools required:
• 1/8" Allen Wrench
1. Remove the seat cushion.
2. Remove all Allen Screws that attach the seat upholstery to the chair
frame. See Figure 42.
3. Detach the "hook & loop" adjustment flap and remove the bolt-on seat
sling.
4. If your replacement upholstery included new aluminum seat rails,
proceed to step 5. If not, remove the aluminum seat rails from old
upholstery and insert them into the new upholstery.
5. Place the new seat upholstery on the frame and align the fastening
holes in the upholstery and aluminum seat rails with the holes in the
seat tubes of the frame.
