USE OF THE PERSONAL BACK

The Personal Back includes a movable foam lumbar and left and right foam laterals attached to the back shell with hook and loop fasteners to provide additional positioning capability. To access the lumbar and the laterals, unzip the cover and push the foam forward, away from the back of the shell. The lumbar and later- als will then be accessible for making adjustments.
