DETERMINING COMPATIBILITY
Wheelchair Types
The Easy Back is designed to be compatible with most
wheelchairs with the following exceptions:
WARNING
•
Wheelchairs that are angularly adjustable, recline
or tilt and result in a back angle greater than 60
degrees from the vertical should not be used.
•
Use with these types of wheelchairs may cause the
back to accidentally disconnect from the wheelchair
resulting in a fall and the potential for serious injury.
Wheelchair Dimensions
The Jay Easy Back is designed to replace the
wheelchair's sling upholstery.
Prior to installation determine if the wheelchair used
has compatible back canes, by measuring the width
between your back canes as seen in Figure 3.0.
Using that measurement, check Figure 4.0 to determine
if the back will fit your chair.
Next check that the back canes are a compatible
diameter.
The Jay Easy Back hardware can be mounted on
wheelchair back canes that measure in diameter
3/4",(19mm), (with insert), 7/8", (22-23mm), (with insert)
or 1", (25-25.5mm), (no insert). (Figure 5.0).
CAUTION
If you cannot determine that the back canes are
compatible, please contact your authorized Sunrise
Medical provider or Sunrise Medical customer service.
