Loosen the two clamp bolts (A) on both sides using the 5mm Hex Key. Place and then tighten the clamps onto the wheelchair canes.
PLEASE REFER TO BOTH IMAGES TO THE RIGHT DURING HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Tips: Make sure the clamps are the same height relative to one another on the canes and they sit square to the wheelchair.
Make sure cane clamp locking screws (J) are flush to the inner clamp surface prior to installation.
Tip: If additional depth adjustment is needed, Compass®4 can be used in alternate configurations including swapping just the cane clamp
or the whole depth adjustment bracket with cane clamp assembly to the opposite side of the wheelchair. See back cover for sample.
Note: If an alternate Compass®configuration was used, 4 Point hardware may need to be reconfigured as well.
1
Slightly loosen bolts (B) on both sides using the 5/32 in. Hex Key. Slide the brackets in and out until the wheelchair canes are relaxed.
If further adjustments are needed that the bracket cannot accommodate, follow step 2A for Quick Release or 2B for Fixed Compass.
2
Gently loosen bolts (K) and (L) on both sides to allow for adjustment of all mounting brackets using 1/8 in. Hex Key.
1
Attach the cane mounts (M) facing forward as shown at the desired height keeping each cane mount symmetrical. To attach the cane
mount, remove a screw on one side of (M) securing the metal strap, wrap the strap around the cane, tighten both strap bolts on the
cane mount and then the front screw (not pictured) to secure.
2
Place the mounting pegs (N) into the grooves on the cane mounts (M) on both sides.
3
When hardware is properly placed, be sure to secure bolts (K) and (L) tightly on both sides.
4
If additional height adjustment is needed, lightly loosen bolts (A) on both sides using the 5 mm Hex Key. The back support can slide up and
down on the canes. Tighten all four bolts (A) again once at the desired height. Note: Alternate T-Nuts are available in the back support if
greater height adjustments are needed. Remove bolts (B) and align the hardware with the T-Nuts as seen to the right.
4
Depth: Loosen bolt (F) on both sides using the 5 mm Hex Key. The back support can slide forward or backwards up to 2 inches total.
Tighten both bolts (F) after the back support depth is adjusted.
5
Recline: Loosen the top and bottom bolts (G) on both sides using the 5 mm Hex Key so the back support can be tilted. Tighten all four
bolts (G) after the back support angle is adjusted.
6
Tighten locking screws (H) on both sides using the supplied 2 mm Hex Key to lock angle rotation. These make contact with recline bolts
(G) and prevent angle rotation but may also be used for minor angle adjustments if bolts (G) are loose. Overtightening of (H) may cause
unwanted changes in recline position.
7
Tighten cane clamp locking screw (J) on both sides using the 3 mm Hex Key. This makes contact with the wheelchair canes to lock in
the final clamp position.
8
Once the hardware is at the correct position with the wheelchair canes relaxed, fully-tighten bolts (B) on both sides. If bolts (D) were
loosened in step 2B, tighten bolts (D) with a 5 mm Hex Key and an 11mm open-end wrench around cone (E) between 90-110 in-lbs.
3
• The installation of the back support is complete. Adjustments can now be made with the user seated during the process.
IMPORTANT: When installation and adjustments are complete, all bolts should be tightened to a minimum of 85 in-lbs.
*This does not include locking screws (H) and (J). Tighten these only until contact is made.
Refer to Compass®(2 Point) instructions # 1 - 8 above.
