Custom Adjustments
1. Adjust the height of the backrest, if needed, by loosening the two nuts (Fig.8:A) on the
backrest bracket. Slide shell up or down to achieve desired height and retighten hardware.
Ensure both sides are set the same.
2. The angle and the depth of the backrest are adjusted, if needed, at the same time. Loosen

movement. Retighten hardware once desired configuration is achieved.
3. Tighten all hardware to 110 in-lbs except the acorn nuts which are tightened to 80 in-lbs.
Overtightening the back post clamp hardware may cause damage to backrest canes.
4. With no user in chair, remove and reinstall backrest multiple times to ensure alignment is
correct and all pieces are secured in place.
