Installation Instructions

Seat Depth Adjustment

Seat depth adjustment varies according to the clinical application and the recline angle 

of the back.  In most cases, Icon Back System hardware allows seat depth to be adjusted 

so that the back does not take up seat depth in front of the canes. Icon Back System 

hardware also may be installed anterior of the canes in situations where seat depth is 

desired for growth. Note: the Icon Back System can be mounted in a rotated position using 

the VariLock Slide Braket Kit, ordered seperately. This kit will allow the left or right Slide 

Brackets to be mounted in the anterior or posterior position, independently of one another.
