closer together. Tighter back upholstery will increase the stability and maintain normal maneuverability of the chair
because the user is pushed forward slightly. It may also make unfolding and folding the chair more difcult. Looser
back upholstery will increase maneuverability, but will make the chair more prone to tip over backward because
additional weight is being distributed onto the rear wheels.
4. Align the top of the padded back with the two backrest ears.
5. If desired, adjust the tension on the strap(s).

Velcro®- Style Adjustable Back Upholstery
Note: When adjusting the tension of the back upholstery, DO NOT apply so much tension that the crosstubes are pulled
out of their saddles. If this occurs, you may cause the chair to “track” improperly or to develop a “oater”.
Adjusting the Tension
1. Lift the back ap to expose the backrest ears. See Figure 7-3.
2. Completely detach the two backrest ears from the padded back, but do not remove the them from the back canes.
3. Adjust to the desired tautness. The closer together the two backrest ears, the more taut the padded back will be. The
farther apart the two backrest ears, the padded back will be looser. Tighter back upholstery will increase the stability
and maintain normal maneuverability of the chair because the user is pushed forward slightly. It may also make
unfolding and folding the chair more difcult. Looser back upholstery will increase maneuverability, but will make the
chair more prone to tip over backward because additional weight is being distributed behind the rear wheels.
4. Align the top of the padded back with the two backrest ears to ensure that the top of the back upholstery is even with
the top of the backrest.
5. If desired, adjust the tension of the strap(s).
6. Securely attach the padded back to the backrest ears using the Velcro®-style material and lower the back ap back into
position.
