INSTALLATION WARNINGS

The position of the Personal Back in the different
mounting bracket slots is directly related to the
chair's stability. When the Personal Back is added
to a TILT and/or RECLINING  chair, it may cause a
decrease in the chair's stability. It may be neces-
sary to reposition the FRONT CASTERS, REAR
WHEELS, BACK ANGLE, TILT-IN-SPACE, RECLINE PO-
SITION and/or SEAT DEPTH before use. Use EXTREME
caution when using a new seating position.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BE-
FORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware
is tightened securely.

INSTALLATION CAUTION

When using LOCTITE 290, follow the manufac-
turers' recommendations.

USER WARNINGS

Skin condition should be checked frequently
after the installation of any new seat.

Your therapist and physician should be consulted
if you have any questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.

Working with your therapist, physician, and
rehabilitation technology supplier is the best
way to assure that a Personal Back choice
matches your individual needs.

As the needs of the individual become more
complex, the Personal Back evaluation be-
comes more important.
