3.0 Pre-Installation Set-Up and Adjustment

3.1 Mounting Clamp and Plate Adjustments:

i) SEAT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:
The Cane Clamp Kits may be mounted in a forward or rearward position on the back
canes. The cane clamp kits are factory assembled in the rearward mounting configu-
ration- see Figure 3A below. The slotted mounting plate design provides up to 1.5"
(38 ) of fore and aft adjustment relative to the cane clamp.
mm
The rearward cane clamp configuration allows for maximum seat depth on the wheelchair
(up to 2.5" (64
By inverting the cane clamps on the back canes, the assembly can be reconfigured to
provide a forward mounting position relative to the back canes* (up to a maximum
2.5" (64 ) forward offset)- see Figure 3B below.
mm
*note: in the forward position, the mounting plates must also be removed and reinstalled in the proper
orientation - as indicated below.
P L E A S E N O T E
When establishing the mounting position for the MaTRx back, ensure the stability of
the wheelchair is not compromised.
Adjusting the fore and aft position of the backrest will alter the user's center of grav-
ity within the wheelchair. A recessed back position can significantly reduce the
rearward stability of the wheelchair. Similarly, a more forward back position will re-
duce the wheelchair's forward stability.
