INTENDED USE
• DO NOT operate AGILITY without first reading and understanding this manual. If assistance is needed, contact a clinician, ROHO
provider or ROHO, Inc.
• In addition to information in this manual, individuals with an AGILITY installed on a wheelchair must continue to follow the
wheelchair manufacturer’s instructions.
• When using any back system, it is especially important to inspect the skin, especially those areas covering bony prominences,
which are at greater risk for breakdown. If any discoloration (ie. redness, bruising, purple, or darker areas versus normal skin
tone, which may be the beginning sign of skin breakdown) is noted and does NOT disappear within 30 minutes after removal from
the product, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
• AGILITY should be installed by a qualified and competent healthcare professional.
• AGILITY must be sized correctly to the individual and the wheelchair.
• As with any addition to a wheelchair, AGILITY may affect the stability of the wheelchair. Before using an AGILITY, ROHO, Inc.
recommends that a clinician evaluate the need for possible wheelchair modifications.
• DO NOT lean over the top of AGILITY. This may cause a change in center of gravity and the wheelchair could tip over.
• Use caution when installing, adjusting, or removing AGILITY hardware to avoid pinching or trapping fingers in openings.
• AGILITY is not intended for individuals weighing over 300 lbs. (136 kg).
• Check AGILITY screws, clamps, and brackets for wear, breakage, and tightness daily. Retighten loose screws following the
instructions throughout this manual. DO NOT continue to use an AGILITY if any part cannot be tightened or is broken. ROHO, Inc.
recommends that an AGILITY be thoroughly inspected periodically by a qualified technician.
• DO NOT attach, remove or adjust the width of an AGILITY when an individual is seated in the chair.
• DO NOT use an AGILITY to lift or push a wheelchair. Doing so may cause the back system to become unintentionally detached from
the wheelchair. Ensure both left and right safety locks are in the LOCKED ( ) position prior to the individual being seated in the
chair and remain in the LOCKED ( ) position while the individual is seated in the chair.
• AGILITY is compatible with many wheelchairs that are angularly adjustable, recline or tilt and result in a back angle up to and
including 60 degrees. Beyond 60 degrees, AGILITY may not be an appropriate selection. Use with wheelchairs that angularly
adjust, recline or tilt to a back angle greater than 60 degrees may cause AGILITY to accidentally disconnect from the wheelchair,
resulting in a fall and the potential for serious injury. Consult a clinician to determine if AGILITY is compatible with the individual’s
wheelchair.
ROHO®AGILITY™Back Systems (AGILITY) are removable backrest replacement systems for wheelchairs, designed to provide trunk/pelvis
support and positioning to the individual. AGILITY include:
• ROHO®AGILITY™Minimum Contour Back System (AGILITY Minimum Contour)
• ROHO®AGILITY™Mid Contour Back System (AGILITY Mid Contour)
AGILITY have a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg).
ROHO, Inc. recommends that a clinician, such as a doctor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning, be consulted to determine if
an AGILITY is appropriate for the individual’s particular seating needs.

DISPOSAL
When properly used and disposed of, there are no known environmental hazards associated with the components of the product in this manual.
Dispose of the product and/or components in accordance with the applicable regulations in your jurisdiction. DO NOT INCINERATE.
Check AGILITY screws, clamps, and brackets for wear, breakage, and tightness daily. Retighten loose screws following instructions throughout
this manual.
WARNING: DO NOT continue to use an AGILITY if any part cannot be tightened or is broken. ROHO, Inc. recommends that an AGILITY be
thoroughly inspected periodically by a qualified technician.
Problem installing or adjusting AGILITY, check the following:
BACK CANE HARDWARE INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure that both the left (L) and right ( R) back cane brackets are in line with the frame of wheelchair and are not twisted.
2. Make sure that the heights of both the left (L) and right ( R) back cane brackets are equal. Use a tape measure or ruler, if necessary.
3. The normal installation location of the back cane brackets is on the back side of the back canes. If a rigidizer bar interferes with the back
cane brackets installed in the normal location, the back cane brackets may be installed on the front side of the back canes. In either
orientation, the left ( ) and right ( ) directional markers on the back cane brackets should be correctly located from the
viewpoint of the installer.
AGILITY INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure that both the left (L) and right ( R) back cane brackets are in line with the frame of wheelchair and are not twisted.
2. Make sure that the width is set appropriately for the chair. Back cane widths may vary. Back shell hardware is factory installed to
accommodate most wheelchairs. If back shell hardware will not hook to the upper and lower pins of the back cane brackets, or if latches
will not close, a width adjustment may be needed. Adjust the width as described in WIDTH AND HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. It may take a few
attempts to find the ideal width position for your chair.
3. If latches will not close, check to see if safety locks are in the LOCKED ( ) position. Safety locks should be in the UNLOCKED ( )
position to install AGILITY, and then LOCKED ( ) prior to the individual being seated in the chair.
WIDTH AND HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
1. Make sure the left (L) and right (R) back shell hardware are on the correct side.
2. Make sure the width and height adjustment bolts are positioned the same within the horizontal slots in the triangle brackets. Use the
reference grooves above and below the horizontal slots on the triangle brackets as guides.
3. Make sure the left (L) and right (R) back shell hardware are positioned the same in the vertical slots on the back shell. Count the number of
square slots in the sliding height adjustment bar that are visible through the vertical slots in the back shell.
DEPTH AND ANGLE ADJUSTMENT:
1. If a triangle bracket will not slide, make sure the slider nut is not in position to interfere.
Adjust slider nut position if necessary.
2. Make sure that the left (L) and right (R) depths are equal. Compare the markers on the top of the triangle brackets.
3. Make sure that the left (L) and right (R) double hooks are rotated to the same angle. Compare the markers on the front of both double hooks.
Problem with the air insert, check the following:
1. If the air insert is not holding air, make sure the valve is tightly closed by turning the valve clockwise. If still not holding air, visibly check for
holes. If no holes are visible, close the valve and immerse the air insert in a sink or tub of water and look for air bubbles. If ‘pin-hole,’ sized
holes are found, air dry the insert completely and then use the repair kit that came with the product and follow the repair kit
instructions. If large holes or other leaks are found, see LIMITED WARRANTY Section.
2. If the air insert is not comfortable, add or remove air to adjust to your comfort level. (see TO ADJUST THE AIR INSERT). Make sure air cells are
facing the front of the wheelchair and the cover is properly positioned (see TO INSTALL THE COVER and TO INSTALL THE FOAM PAD WITH AIR
INSERT).
3. If the air insert slides inside the cover, make sure it is properly positioned and the fabric back is secured to the fastener strip in the cutout
area of the foam pad (see TO INSTALL THE FOAM PAD WITH AIR INSERT). The perimeter of the air insert should be tucked in between the foam
layers around the edge of the cutout area.
