INSTALLATION WARNINGS

The position of the Personal Back in the different mounting bracket slots is directly related to the chair's stability. When the Personal Back is added to a TILT and/or RECLINING chair, it may cause a decrease in the chair's stability. It may be neces- sary to reposition the FRONT CASTERS, REAR WHEELS, BACK ANGLE, TILT-IN-SPACE, RECLINE PO- SITION and/or SEAT DEPTH before use. UseEXTREME caution when using a new seating position.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BE- FORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened securely.

INSTALLATION CAUTION

When using LOCTITE 290, follow the manufac- turers' recommendations.

USERWARNINGS

Skin condition should be checked frequently after the installation of any new seat.

Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding individual limitations and needs.

Working with your therapist, physician, and rehabilitation technology supplier is the best way to assure that a Personal Back choice matches your individual needs.

As the needs of the individual become more complex, the Personal Back evaluation be- comes more important.
