WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury
Injury may occur during use of the wheelchair if a headrest is wrongly adjusted or not
installed correctly. The users neck may become hyperextended in the event of a collision,
or when the system is tilted or reclined.
• This product must be fitted by an experienced clinician or technician.
• Before each use, check that all mounting/adjustment hardware is securely fastened.
Our FLIPP ELAN Mounting Hardware incorporates a lock/release latch mechanism to temporarily
rotate the headrest*by 90° without requiring complete detachment. The Flipp Elan Hardware is
designed for use with most industry standard headrest pads, and is fully compatible with our line of
Matrx Elan Headrest Pads (*headrest pads are sold separately).
• Wherever practicable Motion Concepts recommends that the client is transferred out of the
wheelchair into a vehicle seat using a lap and diagonal seat belt or an appropriate child safety seat.
• For safe transportation of a client within a wheelchair in a motor vehicle, refer to the user
manuals for the wheelchair and the tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS).
WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury
Risk of serious injury when transporting a client in a motor vehicle within a wheelchair
fitted with the Matrx®FLIPP ELAN headrest hardware.
WARNING! Risk of injury
• Inspect the headrest hardware to ensure that there are no missing or damaged parts.
WARNING! Risk of injury
• Before drilling or modifying any back shell, always contact the back manufacturer to ensure
the back is recommended for a headrest application.

MOUNTING CLAMP INSTALLATION (see Fig 2):
Secure the mounting clamp assembly (E) onto back shell*using hardware provided. If additional
clearance is required, install the spacer plate and long screws (e) provided.
(*note: the mounting clamp hardware is installed from the inside of the back shell)
FLIPP ELAN HARDWARE INSTALLATION (see Fig 3):
•Loosen set-screw (d) and remove the lower D-Ring (D2) from the headrest post (1).
•Install the headrest post (F) into the mounting clamp assembly (E), and adjust the headrest post
to the desired height/position (2). (note: loosen upper D-Ring if necessary)
•Tighten the mounting clamp (E) to secure the headrest post in position (3).
•Adjust the upper D-Ring (D1) so that it rests flush with the top of the mounting clamp (4), then secure
the D-Ring into place via the set-screw (d).
•Reinstall and secure the Lower D-Ring (D2) onto the headrest post (5) so that it rests flush with the
bottom of the mounting clamp assembly.
HEADREST POST MODIFICATIONS:
If necessary, the headrest post (F) can be cut (shortened) to prevent any collision interference along
the back of the wheelchair/seating system. (Note: After cutting the post, the plastic end cap (G)can
be removed and re-installed into the newly cut post).
(Refer to images provided in Section 2.2: ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW (p.5-7))
Rotational Pivot Adjustments (see Fig 4): Loosen** the adjustment screws (B) on the rotational
pivot assembly, and adjust the angle/position of the headrest pad as necessary. Re-tighten the
adjustments screws (x3) to secure the headrest into position.
Linkage Adjustments (see Fig 5):Loosen**the applicable linkage adjustment screws (A) or
Lever Handles (C), then adjust the angle/position of the headrest pad as necessary. Re-tighten
all lever handles/linkage screws to secure the headrest into position.
OPTIONAL LEVER HANDLES (see Fig 1 and Fig 6)
Lever Handles (C)may be installed for easier angle adjustment of the headrest linkages (see
Fig. 6a/6b). To install, carefully unscrew the locking screw from the desired link pivot using the 4mm
hex key (provided) and retain the original washer (a). Be very careful to keep the locking nut (b) in
position on the link pivot housing, then install the locking lever handle (with original washer (a)).
ELAN HEADREST PAD* INSTALLATION (see Fig 8):
Position the headrest mounting collar over the pivot ball on the horizontal bar (1); then align and
secure the mounting collar to the headrest pad (2).
*NOTE: Headrest pad sold separately.
FLIP-BACK LATCH MECHANISM (see Fig 7):
To ‘flip-back’ the headrest, depress the release button (H) on the latch mechanism (1). To return
the headrest to its original position, simply lift upward on the headrest until the latch mechanism is
re-engaged (2). (The latch will lock in place automatically)
The position of the headrest pad is adjusted via the three adjustment screws (B) on the rotational
pivot assembly, in combination with the adjustable links (A) on the Standard (2-Link) hardware or
the Extended (3-Link) hardware.
**NOTE: When adjusting the linkage assembly, do not fully remove the linkage screws (A) or Lever
Handles (C). To make adjustments, loosen hardware by approximately 1/2 to 3/4 turn only
