INSPECTION AND CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not continue to use this product if prob-
lems are discovered. Corrective mainte-
nance can be performed by or arranged
through your equipment supplier.
Weekly visual inspection of parts includ-
ing hardware, brackets, upholstery ma-
terials, foams, and plastices for deforma-
tion, corrosion, breakage, wear or com-
pression.
Weekly check of fasteners to verify that
all mechanical connections are secure.
Cleaning Instructions
BACK ASSEMBLY.
Weekly cleaning with dampened cloth. Wipe entire sur-
face.
COVER.
WARNING
The cover is designed to protect the foam
against a user’s incontinence and to pro-
vide fire retardency so the back must not
be used without its cover. If the cover is
torn, it must be replaced.
1. Can be machine washed and dried.
2. DO NOT use bleach.
NOTE: We recommend cleaning the cover on a regular
basis.
FOAM.
If the back foam becomes contaminated because of in-
continence, the foam should be replaced because the
foam is absorbent and cannot be cleaned.
Reclining the Back
WARNING
The position of the back angle, rear
wheels, seat depth and wheel locks, are
directly related to wheelchair stability. Any
change to one (1) or any combination of
the four (4) may cause the wheelchair to
decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution
when using a new seating position.
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is
stable BEFORE reclining the Ultimate Back.
Rear wheels may have to be repositioned
rearward depending on the degree of re-
cline. ALWAYS ensure stability BEFORE using
maximum amount of recline. TEST wheelchair
BEFORE it is occupied by the end user to
ensure safety.
To maintain the stability of the wheelchair
when moving the rear wheels to ANY for-
ward position, the amount of recline MUST
be limited to prevent wheelchair from tip-
ping onto anti-tippers.
The necessary back angle MUST be se-
lected BEFORE repositioning the rear
wheels forward.
