Q 7
F. DEPTH ADJUSTABLE BACKREST
1. The backrest may be adjusted by first removing the JAY style quick-release cord (not
shown) from the backrest release pins (A) on the inside of the chair frame. This will
allow the pin and spring assembly to be removed.
2. Remove the no-tool washer from the backrest assembly bolt (C). Then repeat for
other side of backrest to allow entire backrest assembly to b removed.
3. Once you have repositioned the backrest assembly, reinstall the backrest assembly bolt
(C) in the equivalent position on each side of the frame.
4. Reinstall the backrest release pin assembly (A), reattach quick-release pull cord (not
shown) and verify function.
G. SEAT SLING ADJUSTMENT
Remove the screws retaining the left side seat sling. Readjust VELCRO®-style material to
increase the tension in the seat sling. Replace screws. If there is any difficulty in reattaching
the screws, try using a probe to help align the holes. Ensure that the plastic saddles are under
the seat rail in all fastener positions.
H. ULTRA LIGHT SEAT SLING
The Ultra Light Seat Sling may be removed by first loosening the Velcro strap (D) on both
the front and rear of the seat upholstery cover (E). Then proceed by loosening all Velcro
straps (F) that encircle the chair frame. All straps must be reinstalled in the same position and
quantity as the original set-up.
I. BACKREST TENSION ADJUSTABLE
To install the Backrest Tension Adjustable
1. Slide Velcro straps (G) over the backrest frame section. Make sure to include at least
one strap below the towel bar (if using a rigid chair).
2. Tighten the straps appropriately to desired tension level. DO NOT overtighten straps
as this will cause undue strain upon the chair backrest frame (H).
3. If using fold down push handles, insert the single Velcro strap (I) through the slots in
the front of the push handles (J).
If using inegral push handles (K), slide straps from bottom of backrest upward.
4. Install backrest cover at desired level and fold over rear of Velcro strapping system (L).
The Quickie patch should be upright on the rear of the chair.
5. Finish installation by placing vanity flap (center panel) down onto Velcro on the seat
sling to secure attachment (M).
Adjusting the Backrest Tension Adjustable
Suggest using anti tips while making any adjustments. Ensure anti tips are safely secured and
in a position to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
1. User can transfer into wheelchair. Place wheel locks in the locked position
2. From the rear of the wheelchair the attendant can lift the Vanity Flap (Center panel) to
access the strap system. Adjust straps for optimal balance and truck alignment. Ensure
the Velcro straps has a minimum of 2"s of engagement, hook securing to loop. Press
the Velcro together to ensure it's securely engaged.
3. Once adjustments have been finalized replaced Vanity Flap to its original position.
Any changes made to the straps will affect the center of gravity. Suggest the
user has the attendant stationed behind the wheelchair to prevent the wheel-
chair from tipping backwards while they become accustomed to the adjustment.
