INSTALLING THE MOUNTING
HARDWARE
Please read the following instructions before beginning installation.
To install the JAY Zip Back, begin without the user in the wheel-
chair. Once the back has been installed and minor adjustments are
needed the user can be seated back in the wheelchair.
Tool required (included)
10mm wrench
Hardware Installation Instructions (Fig. 3)
1. Remove the existing wheelchair back according to the
wheelchair manufacturer's instructions.
2. Visually determine the desired location of the receivers on
the wheelchair's back canes. The mounting hardware should
be at approximately equal heights on each back post and par-
allel to the seat frame. Higher locations on the back canes
are generally better.
3. Attach the hardware receivers.
a. Loosen the clamp screws (A) with the enclosed 10 mm
wrench. NOTE– For large tube diameters, clamp screws
may have to be removed completely.
b. Attach and align receiver to the wheelchair back canes.
c. Hand tighten clamp screws (A). NOTE– Receivers may
require additional lateral adjustment to ensure proper
alignment.
Attaching and Aligning the Back Shell (Figs. 3, 4)
a. Loosen bracket nuts (B) and mounting pin bolts (C) using
10mm wrench until hardware can move easily in all direc-
tions.
b. Attach the Zip Back to the hardware receivers by insert-
ing left and right mounting hooks (D) in the left and right
receivers (E).
c. Locate back to the approximate location, relative to both
chair and user.
d. Tighten bolts on the inside of the mounting hooks (D).
The recommended torque specification is 100 - 110 in-
lbs. (11.3 - 12.4 Nm). NOTE– Back depth and angle may
require additional adjustment to ensure proper fit to the
user.
e. Tighten bracket nuts (B). The recommended torque
specification is 75 - 85 in-lbs. (8.5 - 9.3 Nm). NOTE–
Back height may require additional adjustment to ensure
proper fit to the user.
f. Test back release by pulling down on back release handle
and removing the back off the chair. (See Removal and
Replacement section for further details.) Proper align-
ment of the mounting hardware and back is achieved
when smooth attachment and release can be easily done.
g. If proper alignment has not been achieved, adjust the
components until properly aligned.
h. Once properly aligned, tighten the hardware receiver
clamp screws. The recommended torque specification is
75 - 85 in-lbs (8.5 - 9.3 Nm).
