SECTION 6—BACK
WARNING
ALWAYS perform these procedures in the presence of an assistant. The position of
the footrest, camber tube, seat angle, back angle, the tautness of the back
upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs
stability. Any change to one or any combination of the five may cause the
wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating
position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
Unfolding/Folding the Back
WARNING
After unfolding the back, ensure that the plunger pins are fully engaged in the
mounting holes of the adjustment square in the back cane mounting brackets
(Detail “A” in FIGURE 6.2). Back MUST be locked securely in place. Otherwise,
serious injury could result.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.1.
1. To fold the back, pull up on the back release cord and push the back toward the seat
of the wheelchair (Detail “A”).
2. To unfold the back, pull up on the back release cord and lift the back away from the
seat until the back locks into place (Detail “B”).
NOTE: An audible “click” will be heard when the plunger pins fully engage into the adjustment
square and the split ring will be flush up against the back stop insert.
NOTE: The back should have a small amount of movement when locked in the open position.
Plunger pins should snap in and release easily without resistance.
