B. SOLID SEAT BACK & LATERAL THORACIC SUPPORTS
1. To adjust the height of the lateral support mount, loosen the adjustment
screw until the receiver slides freely on the back posts.Tighten the adjust-
ment screw when the proper height is determined.
2. Assess and fit the lateral thoracic supports. Assess client for proper posi-
tioning of the lateral thoracic supports. Each support is independent and
may be adjusted for your client’s clinical need.
A minimum of 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance should exist between the top of
the lateral support and the user’s arm pit.
a) To adjust the height, angle or width of the lateral thoracic support pads,
loosen the top bolts and slide to correct width.Tighten bolt to bolt
plate. If more adjustment is necessary, loosen the internally mounted
bolts, and slide in the track to the desired height and width.The angle is
obtained by tilting the bracket as needed.Tighten the bolts.
b) To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, turn the middle bracket so
that the slots are on side.Adjust to desired depth. Re-tighten the bolts.
C. HEADREST
1. Mounting a headrest.
The Solid Seat Back has a headrest
plate mounted to it. Care should be
taken to use the proper screw length
when mounting.
2. To position the headrest use the dou-
ble clamp and the collar clamp (B,C,D)
to obtain the proper height and dis-
tance. For clamp B use a 3/32 Allen set
screw (A) and a 3/16 Allen cap screw.
Clamp B positions the headrest for-
ward and aft. However, due to the ver-
tical movement of this adjustment, col-
lar clamp D will have to be moved in
conjunction.
4. Retighten both the 3/16 Allen and the set
screws (A) with a 3/32 Allen wrench.
