WARNING
The position of the Personal Back in the three
(3) different mounting bracket slots is directly
related to the chair's stability. When the Per-
sonal Back is added to a TILT and/or RECLIN-
ING chair, it may cause a decrease in the
chair's stability. It may be necessary to repo-
sition the FRONT CASTERS, REAR WHEELS, BACK
ANGLE, TILT-IN-SPACE, RECLINE POSITION and/
or SEAT DEPTH before use. Use EXTREME cau-
tion when using a new seating position.
