INTRODUCTION
The Personal Back is designed to provide the user with
posture support and spinal alignment. The cover is made
from a water repellant fabric to protect the foam.
4. Measure the
Total Height of the Personal Back
(Area B).
5. Subtract the
Total Height of the Personal Back
(Area
B) from the
Total Back Height Required by the Thera-
pist
(A). This gives you
Distance between the bot-
tom of the Personal Back and Cushion
(Area C).
6. Measure the
Distance from the Bottom of Back to
Top Mounting Hardware
(Area D).
7. Add Area D (STEP 6) and Area C (STEP 5) together.
This will determine how much additional height is needed
and
Location of Mounting Bracket
(Area E).
8. Measure the distance from the cushion to the chair
frame/back canes (Area E, STEP 7) and mark (both
sides) on the inside of the chair frame/back canes.
NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damages before us-
ing. In case of damage, do NOT use the equipment. Con-

SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING/CAUTIONS notices apply to
hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in minor personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage.
WARNING
DO NOT install this equipment without first
reading and understanding this instruction
sheet. If you are unable to understand
these instructions, contact a healthcare
professional, dealer or technical person-
nel if applicable before attempting to in-
stall this equipment - otherwise, injury or
damage may occur.
The position of the Personal Back in the
three (3) different mounting bracket slots
is directly related to the chair's stability.
When the Personal Back is added to a
TILT and/or RECLINING chair, it may cause
a decrease in the chair's stability. It may
be necessary to reposition the FRONT
CASTERS, REAR WHEELS, BACK ANGLE, TILT-
IN-SPACE, RECLINE POSITION and/or SEAT
DEPTH before use. Use EXTREME caution
when using a new seating position.
Your therapist and physician should be
consulted if you have any questions re-
garding individual limitations and needs.
Working with your therapist, physician,
and equipment supplier is the best way
to assure that a Personal Back choice
matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become
more complex, the Personal Back evalu-
ation becomes more important.
