4.5 Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery
WARNING!
–
ALWAYS perform these procedures in the presence
of an assistant. The position of the footrest, camber
tube, seat angle, back angle, the tautness of the back
upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly
related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to
one or any combination of the five may cause the
wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME
caution when using a new seating position. The
addition of anti-tippers may be required.
The Back Upholstery Cover
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.
–
The adjuster fastening straps can be adjusted at various
levels of tension to accommodate individual end-users.
Adjusting the Tautness of the Back

The adjustable tension back upholstery consists of an
upper and lower (lumbar) section.
To adjust the back tension, perform the following:
1.
Lift back upholstery cover up and flip over toward front of
wheelchair.
2.
