Invacare Infinity LoBack Support manual Preparing Wheelchair, Removing Cane Clamps

Page 6
NOTE: The final mounting positions of the cane clamps will be determined by the adjustments made to the Infin- ity LoBack to fit the wheelchair and user.
1. Remove the existing back upholstery. Refer to the wheelchair Owner's Manual.
2. Hold the Infinity LoBack up to the back canes at the desired mounting height.
3. Visually inspect the location of the clamps on the In- finity LoBack to determine the proper positions for each cane clamp.
4. Loosen, but do not remove the mounting screw on one (1) of the cane clamps.
5. Position the cane clamp on one (1) back cane, mak- ing sure that the HEAD of the mounting screw faces TOWARD the REAR of the wheelchair . Hand tighten ONLY.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to tighten the two (2) mount- ing screws on the two (2) cane clamps at this time. The two (2) cane clamps will be adjusted AFTER the Infinity LoBack has been installed on the wheelchair and the user has been evaluated.
6. Repeat STEPS 5-6 to install the other cane clamp on the opposite back cane.
NOTE: Make sure that the two (2) cane clamps are in the position determined in STEP 3 AND that the two (2) cane clamps are in the same position on each back cane by measuring the distance from the bottom of each back cane to the bottom of each cane clamp.
Installing Cane Clamps
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hard- ware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
