IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and
your role in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.
All seats and/or backs should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist, and physician
is the best way to assure that a seat choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seat evaluation becomes more
important.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
Before you install the On Chair Mounting Kit, determine where the ContourU back cushion
must be placed in relation to the seat cushion. Find the appropriate recline angle and seat
depth, and estimate where the clamps will be mounted. Remove any obstacles on the wheel-
chair back canes and seat rails that might interfere with installation.
The adjustable mounting brackets can be placed in different configurations. It is important to
determine first where the ContourU seating system will be placed in relation to the wheelchair
frame.
To maintain the original center of gravity (CG) of the wheelchair user, the ContourU back will
normally be placed between or behind the back uprights.
