Lateral Supports (Optional)
Lateral Pads are available as an option for
additional trunk support. Lateral Pads are offered
in standard (small, large) and offset styles (see
image A). Mounting slots in the back shell and the
lateral support brackets allow for adjustment both
vertically and laterally. Upper and lower mounting
slots are provided on the back pan for an even
greater range of adjustment. Lateral Supports may
be further customized by carefully bending* the
lateral to a more desirable contour/position for
the client.
WARNING
*For best results and to prevent damage,
the lateral supports must be removed
from the back pan prior to bending
Installing Lateral Supports
1.
Pull up the bottom of the cover (release hook
and loop fasteners) to expose the mounting
slots/channels in the back pan.
2.
Determine the desired mounting
height/orientation for the lateral pads (upper or
lower mounting slot position).
3.
If applicable, carefully bend the lateral support(s)
to the desired contour (prior to installation).
4.
Loosely install the lateral supports onto the back
pan using the hardware provided (see image B).
Hardware can be installed in either
orientation on the back pan (with the
backing plates located on the inside
or outside of the back pan). The
standard mounting orientation is
shown in image B.
5.
Adjust laterals to the desired position via the
mounting slots on the backpan and via the slots
in the lateral support bracket. Secure each lateral
support into place. (see image C)
6.
Re-attach the back cover via the hook and loop
fasteners.
