WARNING
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.

Installing
NOTE: The final mounting positions of the lateral sup- ports will be determined by the adjustments made to the Infinity LoBack to fit the wheelchair and user.
1.Remove the back cushion from the back panel. Re- fer to INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BACK CUSH- ION in this procedure of the manual.
NOTE: The lateral supports can be adjusted to three (3) different height positions (DETAIL “A”).
2.Align the upper, middle or lower mounting holes in the lateral support with the toothed adjustment slots in the back panel (DETAIL “A”).
NOTE: The grooves next to the mounting holes in the lateral supports are provided to ensure that opposite lat- eral supports are installed using the SAME mounting holes (FIGURE 1). To ensure that this occurs, install one (1) lateral support at the desired height and look through the toothed adjustment slot to see which mounting holes have been used. Then, install the opposite lateral support us- ing the SAME mounting holes.
3.Install the two (2) mounting screws and washers that secure the lateral support to the back panel. Hand tighten ONLY.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to tighten the mounting screws on the lateral support at this time. The lateral supports will be adjusted AFTER the Infinity LoBack has been installed on the wheelchair and the user has been evaluated.
