WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and
BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hard-
ware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or
damage may result.

NOTE: Refer to the INSTALLATION AND STABILITY
WARNINGS in the SAFETY SUMMARY of this manual.

Installing Cane Clamps

NOTE: The final mounting positions of the cane clamps
will be determined by the adjustments made to the Infin-
ity LoBack to fit the wheelchair and user.

1. Remove the existing back upholstery. Refer to the

wheelchair Owner's Manual.

2. Hold the Infinity LoBack up to the back canes at the

desired mounting height.

3. Visually inspect the location of the clamps on the In-

finity LoBack to determine the proper positions for
each cane clamp.

4. Loosen, but do not remove the mounting screw on

one (1) of the cane clamps.

5. Position the cane clamp on one (1)  back cane, mak-

ing sure that the HEAD of the mounting screw faces
TOWARD  the REAR of the wheelchair . Hand tighten
ONLY.

NOTE: It is NOT necessary to tighten the two (2) mount-
ing screws on the two (2) cane clamps at this time. The
two (2) cane clamps will be adjusted AFTER the Infinity
LoBack has been installed on the wheelchair and the
user has been evaluated.

6. Repeat STEPS 5-6 to install the other cane clamp on

the opposite back cane.

NOTE: Make sure that the two (2) cane clamps are in the
position determined in STEP 3 AND that the two (2) cane
clamps are in the same position on each back cane by
measuring the distance from the bottom of each back cane
to the bottom of each cane clamp.
