JAY CARE BACK
JAY CARE BACK - 3500 SERIES MODELS
The Jay Care Back is designed to accommodate and support the
kyphotic spine and provide a high degree of comfort and stability. It
is designed to help increase sitting tolerance and function. Its
unique foam construction also helps provide pressure relief along
the spine. In addition, it is lightweight, durable and easily adjustable.
Maximum user weight: 250 lbs. (113 kg).
CAUTION
: Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the center of
gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to tip back-
wards potentially resulting in injury. Always assess for the potential
need for anti-tippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added
to the wheelchair to help increase stability.
INSTALLING THE JAY CARE BACK
The Jay Care Back is designed to replace the wheelchair’s sling
upholstery. The initial installation should be done without the foam
insert in the Back shell.
Tighten all fasteners to 20 in.-lbs. (2.3 N-m) using a Phillips No. 2
screwdriver.
Installing the bottom Universal Post Bracket hardware
1. Remove the upholstery from the back of the wheelchair.
2. Attach one bottom universal post bracket to the bottom of
each back post of the wheelchair.(Diagram1)
a) The universal hardware is designed to fit on 5/8", 3/4",
7/8" and 1" (1.6, 1.9, 2.2 and 2.5 cm) diameter back post
tubing. (The bracket comes assembled to attach to 7/8"
or 1" (2.2 or 2.5 cm) tubing) Check diagram 1 to deter-
mine which strap hole is appropriate for the installation.
Wrap the strap around the wheelchair post. Screw “A”
may have to be loosened to align the strap hole with the
barrel nut located inside the post bracket body. Place a
washer on screw “B” and insert the screw through the
appropriate hole in the strap.
b) Tighten screw “B” into the barrel nut through the side of
the post bracket body. Tighten the opposite screw if nec-
essary.
c) Snap the screw caps over both screw heads.
d) To adjust the height of the bracket, loosen screw “A” until
the bracket slides freely on the back post. Once the
proper height of the back is determined, tighten the
screw. All future adjustments of the back height are done
with screw “A”.
