to the remaining J bracket(s) on the opposite side of the ContourU back.
1. If necessary, install the ContourU back. Refer to REMOVING/INSTALLING THE CON-

2. With the ContourU back installed on the wheelchair, determine which J bracket mounting
positions are necessary to achieve the desired back angle adjustment.
3. Remove the ContourU back. Refer to REMOVING/INSTALLING THE CONTOUR U

4. Remove the two (2) mounting screws and locknuts that secure the J bracket to the L
bracket as shown in DETAIL A of FIGURE 6.
5. Align two (2) mounting holes of the J bracket with two (2) mounting holes of the L bracket
to acquire the desired angle.
6. Reinstall the two (2) mounting screws and locknuts that secure the J bracket to the L
bracket. Securely tighten.
7. Repeat STEPS 4-6 to adjust the remaining J and L brackets as necessary to achieve the
desired back angle.
8. Reinstall the ContourU back onto the wheelchair. Refer to REMOVING/INSTALLING THE
