CONTEMPORARY BACKREST

1.  Pick up the cushion, head up. 

Make sure the inner straps 
dangle freely at the bottom of the 
backrest. The end of the straps 
should slightly extend beyond the 
bottom of the cushion.

2.  Begin slipping the bottom of 

the backrest cushion over the 
tubular backrest frame. Pass the 
straps behind the padded part 
of the top of the structure, then 
over the two slats of the cradle 
locking mechanism.

3.  Continue to slip the cushion on the backrest 

by pulling on the straps and/or the bottom 
flap. Make sure to slide the mechanism 
activation lever through the hole in 
the backrest cover. If you encounter 
resistance, stop pulling in case the straps 
are not sliding correctly. Remove the 
cushion and start over.

4.  When the cushion is fully-lowered, 

run the straps under the lower slat 
of the tubular backrest structure.

These instructions apply to the Contemporain (Contemporary) backrest. If you 

have another kind of backrest cushion, go to the next section.
