Adjusting "The Back" to Fit the Wheelchair

6 Adjusting "The Back" to Fit the Wheelchair

Once "The Back" has been adjusted to the requirements of the user, it must be adjusted to the
wheelchair.
The rigid back bar must protrude 10 mm (3/8") beyond the notch of the lower assembly adapter
(Fig. 3). It might be necessary to shorten the rigid back bars in order to make sure that they will
not conflict with other wheelchair components (e.g. the spokes).
The upper assembly adapter hooks can be used to adjust the width (Fig. 4).
1. Loosen the two adjustment screws at the upper assembly adapters and slide the upper as-
sembly adapters inwards or outwards (Fig. 4) until they are in the appropriate position for the
wheelchair's width.
2. Firmly tighten the adjustment screws as soon as both brackets (Fig. 5, Item 1) have been
adjusted properly.

Attention!
It is important that the right and the left assembly adapter hooks are set equidistant
from the center (see Fig. 5). The distance "d" must be the same on both sides. If this
is not the case, "The Back" will not be level and may position the user incorrectly.
