E. BACK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (FIGURES 7 & 8)
The back angle is established by the interlocking of mating splined teeth of the backrest
plug (A) and backrest bracket (B). To change the angle, insert an Torx T40 key (C) through
the slot in the back canes (Fig. 8-D) and loosen the screws (Fig. 7-E) on both sides of the
chair until the mating splines are allowed to freely slide past one another.
On the left side of the chair, set the back canes at the desired angle to the wheelchair
frame and tighten screw (E) to 212 in-lbs. (24Nm). Use the extension handle (F). Record
the indicator hash mark position of the backrest plug (A) and backrest bracket (B) on the
left side of the chair and adjust the right side of the chair to the identical position.
Tighten the screw to 212 in-lbs. (24 Nm).
F. OFFSET SEATING (OPTIONAL) (FIGURE 9)
The optional offset seating plug (G) can locate the back canes (H) either 1" or 2" more
rearward than the standard seating plug.
1. Before installation, determine which backrest system will be used and the offset that
will be established.
2. If the offset is approximately 1" then fasten screw (I) into hole 1.
3. If the offset is approximately 2" then fasten screw (I) into hole 2.
