ANGLE 

Once the initial installation is complete, adjustments can be made
with the user seated in the chair for a personalized fit. Make sure 
that the user does not apply full to the back until the hardware
has been fully tightened to the specified torque requirements.

height of the back.

b. Have the user slide forward slightly and loosen the

nuts (I) with 10mm wrench.

75-85 in-lbs (8.5-9.3 Nm).

screws (J) on the bracket slots.

b. Adjust the depth and/or angle settings and  securely

tighten the screws to lock in the adjustment.
Recommended torque specification is 100-110 in-lbs
(11.3-12.4 Nm).

c. If additional depth is needed, remove the J3 Plus Back

from the receivers. Remove the screws (K) from the
receiver using a 4mm hex key and reposition the
hardware to the desired depth.

screws to 25-35 in-lbs (2.8-4 Nm)
