3. Tips & Tricks
Easy Set-up
•
Mount the brackets first.
• When mounting the brackets, ensure that the hardware is mounted parallel to the seat rails.
This will make it much easier when you are removing and inserting the seat back.
• Then attach the back to the brackets and make height adjustments through the sliding shell
brackets.
*When making adjustments only loosen the adjustment screws by ¾ of a turn.
Trouble Shooting
If the back system is “sticking” or “binding”, allow the slide brackets to “self centre”.
•
Loosen off the slide bracket screws on both sides.
•
Allow brackets to move so that there is room in the holsters.
• Re-tighten slide brackets.
Check cane brackets
• Make sure they are installed at same height on canes.
•
The flag portions should be parallel.
Check angle adjustment
• On holsters, to make sure the angle is same on each side.
• To correct:
- Loosen top adjustment screw ¾ turn
- Press backrest backwards
- Tighten screw while holding backrest backward
- Repeat slide bracket self-centering
