Before Installation
Mounting Configuration
The mounting plates are shipped pre-assembled on the cane clamps in the rearmost mounting
configuration. This maximizes the seat depth on the wheelchair seat (up to a maximum 2.5” (64 mm)
rearward offset - see image A).
By changing the orientation of the mounting plates on the cane clamps, the assembly can be reconfigured*
to provide a more forward mounting position for the back if desired (up to a maximum 2.5” (64 mm)
forward offset - see image B).
*To reconfigure a mounting plate/cane clamp to
the forwardmost orientation:
1.
Detach the mounting plate from the cane clamp
(3 screws);
2.
Rotate the cane clamp 180° and re-fasten it to
mounting plate;
3.
Install cane clamp as illustrated in image B.
Hardware is sold separately.

WARNING
When establishing the mounting position for the Invacare Matrx Elite, ensure the stability of the
wheelchair is not compromised.
Adjusting the forward and aft position of the backrest will alter the user’s center of gravity within
the wheelchair. A recessed back position can significantly reduce the rearward stability of the
wheelchair. Similarly, a more forward back position will reduce the wheelchair’s forward stability.
Each mounting plates is also designed to provide 1.5” (38 mm) of fore and aft adjustment
relative to the cane clamp
