Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery

WARNING

The position of the footrest, seat angle, back angle, seating system/upholstery, caster size and position, rear wheel size and position, use of anti-tippers, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any combination of the ten may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. EXTREME care MUST be taken when changing the stability of the wheelchair. Refer to the chart in General Guidelines on page 11 of this manual.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.3.

The Adjustable Tension Straps

The straps can be adjusted at various levels of tension to accommodate individual end-users. The bottom two straps can be adjusted tightly to support and/or assist the extensor muscles.

The Back Upholstery Cover

NOTE: The back upholstery cover is designed for three reasons:

•The first is as a modesty cover.

•The second is to keep the cushion from sliding out of the back of the wheelchair.

•The third is a sacral support depending upon how far or tight the flap is pulled under the seat cushion.
