WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and
BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hard-
ware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or
damage may result.
NOTE: Refer to the INSTALLATION AND STABILITY
WARNINGS in the SAFETY SUMMARY of this manual.
Installing
NOTE: The final mounting positions of the lateral sup-
ports will be determined by the adjustments made to the
Infinity LoBack to fit the wheelchair and user.
1. Remove the back cushion from the back panel. Re-
fer to INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BACK CUSH-
ION in this procedure of the manual.
NOTE: The lateral supports can be adjusted to three (3)
different height positions (DETAIL “A”).
2. Align the upper, middle or lower mounting holes in
the lateral support with the toothed adjustment slots
in the back panel (DETAIL “A”).
NOTE: The grooves next to the mounting holes in the
lateral supports are provided to ensure that opposite lat-
eral supports are installed using the SAME mounting holes
(FIGURE 1). To ensure that this occurs, install one (1)
lateral support at the desired height and look through the
toothed adjustment slot to see which mounting holes have
been used. Then, install the opposite lateral support us-
ing the SAME mounting holes.
3. Install the two (2) mounting screws and washers that
secure the lateral support to the back panel. Hand
tighten ONLY.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to tighten the mounting screws
on the lateral support at this time. The lateral supports will
be adjusted AFTER the Infinity LoBack has been installed
on the wheelchair and the user has been evaluated.
4. Repeat STEPS 2-3 to install the OPPOSITE lateral
support.
5. Reinstall the back cushion onto the back panel. Re-
fer to INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BACK CUSH-
ION in this procedure of the manual.

to INSTALLING/REMOVING CUSHIONS in this pro-
cedure of the manual.
