NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.4.
1. Remove the cushion from the back frame. Refer to Installing/Removing the Propel
Back Cushion on page 13.
2. Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the two mounting bolts and washers that secure the
cane mounting bracket to the back frame.
3. Move the cane mounting brackets to the desired position.
NOTE: Keep the back frame centered for proper positioning.
4. Carefully set the back onto the back tabs.
5. Adjust the mounting brackets on both sides for desired fit keeping back centered.
6. Tighten the mounting bolts securely.
7. Replace the cushion. Refer to Installing/Removing the Propel Back Cushion on

8. Check the back height, adjust cane mounting bracket if necessary. Refer to Installing
Mounting Hardware on page 9.
NOTE: Most wheelchairs' back canes are not fully vertical. Adjust the width of the brackets on the
back frame to match. If the Propel Back seems too loose or too tight, the brackets can be manually
adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of effort required to install or remove the back from the
chair. This adjustment may also be used to reduce back noise caused by movement in the wheelchair.
