Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery

ƽ 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 15 of this manual.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.4.

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
