Important Safety Information
Warnings:
-DO NOT use the product without first reading and understanding this manual. If you are unable to perform any of the tasks in this
manual, seek assistance by contacting your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc.
-Follow all instructions and safety information provided with the product and provided by the manufacturer of your wheelchair or
other accessories.
-Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a
day, especially those areas covering bony prominences. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may
indicate superficial or deep tissue injury and may need to be addressed. If there is any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE
immediately. If the discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately consult a healthcare professional.
-The product should be installed and adjusted by a qualified and competent medical equipment provider or licensed healthcare
professional.
-The product must be sized correctly to the individual and the wheelchair.
-As with any addition to a wheelchair, the product may affect your wheelchair’s stability. Before using the product, consult with a
clinician to determine whether your wheelchair requires additional modifications.
-DO NOT lean over the top of AGILITY CARBON. Doing so may cause a change in the center of gravity, and the wheelchair could tip over.
-Check daily to confirm tightness of the screws. Retighten loose screws, following instructions in this manual. Check daily for wear
or breakage. DO NOT use the product if any part cannot be tightened or is broken. Periodically, the product should be thoroughly
inspected by a qualified technician.
-DO NOT lift or push a wheelchair using any part of AGILITY CARBON because it may become detached from the wheelchair.
Warnings - Motor Vehicle Transportation:
-AGILITY CARBON is NOT designed to be used for seating in a motor vehicle, and DOES NOT meet Federal standards for motor vehicle
seating. The risk of an accidental disconnection that could result in a fall and potential serious injury has not been assessed.

Wheelchair Compatibility
Warnings:
-Wheelchairs with rigidizer bars may not be compatible with AGILITY CARBON,
as the rigidizer bar may interfere with angle adjustment. Consult with an
equipment provider to determine if AGILITY CARBON is compatible with your
wheelchair.
-If AGILITY CARBON is not positioned to make contact with the Posterior
Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS), pelvic support and trunk control may be reduced.
Make sure that AGILITY CARBON is positioned so that the bottom portion makes
contact with the PSIS, as shown.
Wheelchair Cane Compatibility: Measure the diameter of your back canes.
Warning: If the wheelchair back canes are less than 1 in. (< 2.5 cm) in diameter, you
will NOT be able to securely install the AGILITY CARBON with the pre-installed hardware.
Consult with a clinician or the equipment provider to determine if your wheelchair's back
canes are compatible with AGILITY CARBON Hardware. A ¾" Outer Cane Clamp is available to
use with back cane diameters that are ¾" (2.0 cm).
Installation of ¾" Outer Cane Clamps
1. Use the T-Handle Wrench to
remove the cane clamp screw and
Outer Cane Clamp from the back
shell.
2. Install the ¾" Outer Cane Clamp
using the same cane clamp
screw.
3. Make sure the hardware is
correctly oriented (See Hardware
re-assembly) and then tighten the
cane clamp screw two (2) full
rotations.
4. Repeat on the other side.
5. Continue with the AGILITY
CARBON adjustment and
installation instructions in this manual.

equal and aligned. Use the T-Handle Wrench to tighten the
angle adjustment screw until snug.
Note: If a torque wrench is available, tighten to no more
than 60 inch-pounds (7 Newton-meters).
1. Use the T-Handle Wrench to loosen the angle adjustment
screw up to one and one-half (1½) full rotations.
Warning: If over-rotation occurs, hardware may come
loose and must be reassembled. See Hardware re-asseMbly.
2. Locate the markers on each side of the AGILITY CARBON
back shell to prepare for angle adjustment. Use the single
marker on the inner cane clamp to line up with the markers
on the back shell.
