A. Fitting Your Axiom Back and Wheelchair (Continued)
4. Install the backrest assembly onto the backrest mounts. See Fig. 6.
5. Visualize the user seated on the chair with a cushion and where the clamps will mount on the
backreset canes. Ensure there will be no interference with the backrest canes. The bottom
edge of backrest will typically fall between an 1" to 2" above the top of the cushion. Loosen
the mount clamps and install onto backrest canes. See Fig. 7.
6.
Adjust backrest so it appears centered between the two back canes and both clamps are set
at the same height on both sides. Using a tape measure is recommended to ensure both
sides are set up equally. Once final position is achieved with only bolt tightened on each
hardware surface, then release and test hardware latch and release. Tip: Only loosen and
snug up one bolt at a time until desired position is achieved.
7.
Final latch should activate when pulling rearward on the very top part of the back. If latch
doesn’t click into place, loosen the side that isn’t engaging and manually manipulate the
latch to engage. Repeat step 7 if necessary.
8.
Tighten all hardware enough so pieces are secured during travel or until user specific
adjustments are made later. Overtightening the back post clamp hardware may cause
damage to backrest canes.
9.
Reinstall backrest cover. Remove and reinstall backrest multiple times to ensure alignment is
correct and all pieces are secured in place.
