ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED WITH THE USER IN THE CHAIR.
2.1
Multi-Position Backrest
The Raz AP600 and SP600 Shower Chairs come with a 20” Multi-
Position Backrest. It can be moved fore/aft within a 1” range to
improve center of gravity and weight distribution, and the backrest
angles can be set at 95
o
, or 100
o
. The armrests on this back type flip-
up for transfers and are adjustable in angle, but are fixed at a height
of 8”.
2.2
Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery
The Raz AP600 and SP600 Shower Chairs come with a 20”
Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery which provides trunk support for
optimal positioning and comfort. The Adjustable Tension Back
Upholstery is available in a polyester fabric for comfort, and a vinyl
material ideal for clinical facilities. In both cases the upholstery has
double stitched straps for heavy-duty use and is removable for
machine washing.
To install the Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery:
1. Remove the grey fabric upholstery from the accessory box.
2. Place the fabric against the front of the backrest canes making
sure that when wrapped around, the clips on the straps face
away from the fabric, and the loops point downwards.
3. Clip up the lowest strap below the armrest weldment.
4. The second and third lowest straps can be clipped up above
the armrest weldment.
5. The fourth strap from the bottom of the backrest must be fed
through the loop on the strap above it, and can then be clipped
up below the push bar.
6. The last two straps can be clipped up above the push bar.
7. Adjust all of the straps to meet the user’s needs.
To adjust the Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery, each strap can be
tightened or loosened at the buckles to achieve a wide range of
positions. For example, the second and third straps from the bottom
can be tightened further to create more pronounced support in the
lumbar area of the back. The looser the straps of the back upholstery,
the more the fabric will sling into the chair.
To remove the Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery, release the
buckles on the straps.
NOTE: The bottom strap should be fastened below the armrest
weldment on the back frame. In order to remove this strap, it may help
to raise the armrests.
