Installing the Elite Back
1.
Verify that the overall fit and alignment of the Elite back is correct (make adjustments as needed).
2.
Fully secure the cane clamp screws onto both back posts, and tighten the set screws to ensure the
mounting plates do not slip or rotate.
3.
To best determine the optimal depth and recline
settings for the Elite back, the user should be
seated in the wheelchair. While seated, loosen
the depth/recline screws on the mounting plates
and adjust the Elite back to the desired depth
and recline angle. Re-tighten all screws to lock
the back in position.
Ensure that the depth/recline
adjustment for the Elite back is made
symmetrically* on the left and right
mounting plates.
The vertical score lines on the mounting
plates are designed as a point of
reference to assist with symmetrical
mounting. Since the Elite back can be
mounted in a rotated (reclined) position
if desired, it will not always be mounted
parallel with these vertical lines.

One-Hand Cord Release Mechanism
1.
Thread the nylon cord through the holes in the latch mechanism at the top of the left and right
mounting plates (see image A).
2.
Install the cord lock mechanism onto the cord (see image B). Press the button to open the lock
mechanism and slide the two open ends of the nylon cord through the opening.
3.
With the back properly installed on the wheelchair, adjust the cord length so that it hangs at
approximately a 45° angle along the back pan (this allows the release mechanism to operate more
effectively). If necessary, cut/remove excess cord to eliminate any risk of entanglement. Once
adjusted, combine the loose cord ends into a single knot to prevent the cord-lock from slipping.
If the cord length was modified, carefully melt the ends of the cord to prevent fraying.
