Back Slip Cover Replacement
Note:
It is easier to replace
the back slip cover if the seat
slip cover has been temporarily
removed. See instructions on
page 1.
1. Begin removal of the old back
slip cover at the lower rear of
the chair back as illustrated.
Grasp and gently pull the fabric
out of the lower groove first.
Continue pulling fabric from
the groove, working around the
chair back until the entire back
slip cover can be removed.
Set the back slip cover aside
(Figures 1, 2 & & 3).
2. Begin installing the new back
slip cover at one top corner.
Align the corner of the fabric
with the upper corner of the
back structure and press the
fabric edge into the groove in
the back, taking care to not
press the foam into the groove
(Figure 4).
3. Continue working along the top,
pressing fabric into the groove.
Use a rubber mallet to tap the
fabric edge into the groove
along the top of the chair back.
When fabric is all tapped into
the top groove in the seat back,
check that the fabric corners
align with the chair back
corners. Stretch and adjust if
necessary (Figure 4).
4. Next, work down one side of
the chair back, pressing and
tapping fabric into the groove. It
is recommended to use a thumb
to guide the fabric and to use
fingers to help keep the foam
out of the groove. At the bottom,
assure that the fabric corner
meets the chair back corner and
adjust as necessary. Repeat the
process at the other side of the
chair (Figure 5).
5. Carefully tip the Altus Chair
forward onto a clean floor
surface to expose the lower rear
of the chair back. As with the
top and sides, tuck and tap the
fabric into the bottom chair back
groove. At the center bottom
of the chair back, the handle of
the mallet may be used to press
the fabric into the groove of the
chair (Figure 6).

6. Carefully turn the chair to the
upright position. If needed,
remove, replace and adjust
fabric in the groove to achieve a
nice fit.
