Operating Instructions

 

(cont.)

Lateral Supports

The lateral supports are detachable and interchangeable. They can be used in various combinations, 

individually or collectively, to provide upper-body or lateral support.

To adjust the lateral supports:

•   Unscrew the grip knobs counterclockwise 

slightly until the gap is large enough to 

detach the support 

(Figure 5)

. The grip 

knobs do not need to be completely 

removed to detach the lateral supports.

•   Reattach the lateral supports into the 

desired position. 

•   Turn the grip knobs clockwise until tightly 

fastened. There are two grip knobs per 

lateral support. 

Narrow

Wide

NOTE: 

The lateral side supports can be attached in two width orientations to accommodate different 

size users 

(Figures 6 and 7)

. To adjust the width between the right and left lateral supports, remove 

the left lateral support and install it on the right side, and vice versa.
