NOTE:
the hardware for the back mounting brackets should be snug, however, for ease of installation
do not fully tighten at this time. The slotted holes in the backpan are designed to allow fine tune adjustment
of the brackets & the backpan prior to final installation.
Mounting Brackets may be mounted into one of two optional sets of mounting holes (slots) along the height of
the backpan. The
upper
and
lower
mounting hole locations (
see
Figure 2.
below
) were designed to provide
optional mounting locations to prevent interference from crossbraces, pushbars or any other components/
hardware that may pre-exist on the back canes.
1. Determine the appropriate back ‘mounting height’ for the client.
(
note:
the mounting height refers to the
desired mounting position/ height of the back - measured from the bottom edge of the back pan to the top
of the seat pan- see Helpful Hint below )
.
2. Determine which mounting hole locations (on the backpan) are most appropriate, and install the 4 back
mounting brackets onto the backpan using the hardware provided
1
. Ensure screws are inserted from the
inside of the backpan (
refer to
Figure 1.
below for proper hardware orientation
).
Due to the weight and size of the MaTRx High Back,
spacer blocks
(using foam
or wood) are recommended to help support the back pan during installation
and to position it at the desired mounting height
.

3 Place the MaTRx High Back (with mounting brackets) onto the wheelchair back canes, using the spacer
blocks and additional clamps (if necessary) to hold the back pan in place. Complete any fine tune adjustments
to the mounting bracket position and fully tighten hardware to secure all four brackets in place.
