SAFETY SUMMARY

NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage. In case of damage, DO NOT use. Contact your Dealer for further instruction.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

Stabilize from the ground up. A stable base, pelvis and footrests are requirements for any torso positioning system.

For proper installation of the Infinity Back and to reduce the risk of pressure sores, the adjustment procedures in this manual MUST be performed in the following order:

1.Adjusting the Mounting Hardware

2.Adjusting the Hinge/Angle (DUALFLEX ONLY)

3.Adjusting the Depth Hardware

4.Adjusting the Lateral Supports

Ensure the Infinity Back is properly secured to the wheelchair BEFORE using. Upper mounting pins must sit flush in the upper (swivel) cane clamps for the clamp lock to secure the Infinity Back to the wheelchair. Lower mounting pins must rest in the groove on the flange of the lower (fixed) cane clamps. Otherwise changes in seat depth will occur, making the wheelchair less stable.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hard- ware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

STABILITY WARNINGS

The seat height, seat depth, back height, tilt angle, back angle, pivot point of seat frame, seating system, caster position, size and position of the rear wheels, wheel locks, anti-tippers, locking collar as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the fourteen (14) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position.
