A. FITTING THE JAY FIT BACK
WARNING!
•
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backward, 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.
NOTE: The Jay Fit Back is designed for paediatric
wheelchair clients. The back is very easy to adjust based
on a child's changing needs. When installing or adjusting
components, tighten all fasteners to 2.3 N-m (20 in.-lbs.).
B. ATTACH ONE LOWER RECEIVER ASSEMBLY TO
EACH UPRIGHT POST OF THE WHEELCHAIR
1. Remove the black caps on the lower receiver assemblies
(B) and release the bands by removing the band screws
(C).
2. Position the lower receiver assemblies on the back
posts in the approximate desired locations. HINT: These
assemblies may be oriented in front or behind the back
posts. The stud slot always faces inward. When mounted
behind the back post, the assembly offers 0 cm to 3.7
cm (0-1.5") of forward adjustment. When the assembly
is mounted in front of the back post, you have an
adjustment range of 3.7 cm to 7.5 cm (1.5" - 3") forward.
3. Replace the band screw and tighten firmly. Replace the
black cap.
4. To adjust the height of an assembly, loosen the
adjustment screw until the receiver slides freely on the
back posts. Tighten the adjustment screw when the
proper height is determined. Both receivers should be
set to the same height.
C. INSTALL THE JAY FIT BACK
1. Place the Jay Fit Back in the wheelchair so the bottom
stud nuts (A), on the brackets attached to the back
shell, slide into the lower receiver assemblies. If the
width is not right, see next step "D" overleaf.
2. The top of the back should rest against the uprights.
The top hooks on the upper portion of the back shell,
should rest flush against the posts.
