The FlexLoc Mounting Hardware
Intended for mounting of the Ride Custom Back onto wheelchair back canes, the
FlexLoc hardware is adjustable through six axes. The FlexLoc safely secures the
Ride Custom Back yet is removable by flipping two levers on the optional quick
release pins. It is intended for use on any wheelchair with tubular back canes, but
does not allow the chair to fold unless removed.
Adapter mounting plates are available for a variety of other wheelchair
interfaces. Contact Ride Designs for information regarding mounting of FlexLoc on
wheelchairs without tubular back canes.
WARNING: Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the center of
gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards or
forwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always assess for the potential need for
anti-tippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to your wheelchair to
help increase stability.
WARNING: Failure to accurately assess and adjust the fit of the Ride Custom Back
may result in serious injury to the user.
