If you cannot determine that the back canes are
compatible please contact your authorized Sunrise
Medical provider or Sunrise Medical customer
service.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
A. FITTING THE JAY FIT BACK
WARNING!
• Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backward, potentially resulting in injury.
• Always assess for the potential need for anti-tippers
or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase stability.
NOTE: The Jay Fit Back is designed for paediatric
wheelchair clients. The back is very easy to adjust based
on a child’s changing needs. When installing or adjusting
components, tighten all fasteners to 2.3 N-m (20 in.-lbs.).
B. ATTACH ONE LOWER RECEIVER ASSEMBLY TO
EACH UPRIGHT POST OF THE WHEELCHAIR
1. Remove the black caps on the lower receiver assemblies
(B) and release the bands by removing the band screws
(C).
2. Position the lower receiver assemblies on the back
posts in the approximate desired locations. HINT: These
assemblies may be oriented in front or behind the back
posts. The stud slot always faces inward. When mounted
behind the back post, the assembly offers 0 mm to 37
mm (0-1.5”) of forward adjustment. When the assembly
is mounted in front of the back post, you have an
adjustment range of 37 mm to 75 mm (1.5” - 3”) forward.
3. Replace the band screw and tighten firmly. Replace the
black cap.
4. To adjust the height of an assembly, loosen the
adjustment screw until the receiver slides freely on the
back posts. Tighten the adjustment screw when the
proper height is determined. Both receivers should be
set to the same height.
C. INSTALL THE JAY FIT BACK
1. Place the Jay Fit Back in the wheelchair so the bottom
stud nuts (A), on the brackets attached to the back
shell, slide into the lower receiver assemblies. If the
width is not right, see next step “D” overleaf.
2. The top of the back should rest against the uprights.
The top hooks on the upper portion of the back shell,
should rest flush against the posts.

ENGLISH
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
D. BOTTOM WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
Remove the Jay Fit Back from the wheelchair. Loosen
the lower back bracket nuts and slide the brackets so that
the stud nuts (E) fit into the lower receiver assemblies (B,
previous page). Adjust the brackets evenly on both sides
and lightly tighten the bracket nuts.
E. TOP WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
Remove the Jay Fit Back from the wheelchair. Loosen the
upper back bracket nuts (D) and slide the brackets so that
the upper back hooks match the wheelchair post width.
Adjust the brackets evenly on both sides and tighten the
bracket nuts. Replace the back in the wheelchair.
F. ASSESS AND ADJUST BACK HEIGHT
Position the user’s hips to the back of the wheelchair. The
top of the back should be located approximately at the top of
the shoulder. To adjust the height of the back, loosen screw
(F) and slide lower receiver assemblies up or down. Once
proper height is determined, tighten brackets firmly.
HINT: If you encounter interference with the lower back
brackets, simply loosen the brackets at the point of
attachment to the back, and move up or down in the track
as needed.
G. ASSESS AND ADJUST SEAT DEPTH AND BACK
ANGLE
1. To adjust seat depth, loosen the fasteners for the top
hook and lower receiver stud nut on both sides (G). Slide
the back on the bracket nuts to the desired depth.
2. To add recline, slide the top hooks forward or back to

obtained by adjusting the placement of the stud nut on
the lower bracket.
3. Adjust the top hooks and lower receiver stud nut evenly
on both sides and tighten the fasteners.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
H. INSTALL THE TOP QUICK RELEASE QUARTER TURN
BRACKET HARDWARE
Attach one top quick release quarter turn bracket (H) to
each upright post of the wheelchair.
1. The top quick release quarter turn bracket is designed to
fit on 16 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, and 25 mm (5/8”, 3/4”, 7/8”
and 1”) diameter back post tubing. (The bracket comes
assembled to attach to 22 mm or 25 mm tubing.) Check
Fig.11.0 to determine which strap hole is appropriate for
the installation. Wrap the strap around the wheelchair
post. Screw (K) may have to be loosened to align the
strap hole with the barrel nut located inside the bracket
body. Place a washer on screw (J) and insert the screw
through the appropriate hole in the strap.
2. Tighten screw (J) into the barrel nut through the side
of the bracket body. Tighten the opposite screw if
necessary.
3. Snap the screw caps over both screw heads.
4. To adjust the height of the bracket, loosen screw “A”
until the bracket slides freely on the back post. Once
the proper height of the back is determined, tighten the
screw. All future adjustments of the back height are done
with screw (K).
5. Always turn the quick-release quarter turn bracket to the
“DOWN” position to secure the top hook in place.
NOTE: If you encounter interference with the top back
brackets, simply loosen the brackets at the point of
attachment to the back, and move up or down in the track
as needed.
WARNING!
• The top quick-release quarter turn brackets must be
in their downward position when the back is in use.
Improper use may cause the back to unexpectedly
detach from the wheelchair.
• Do not use the Jay Fit Back to push or lift the wheelchair.
Improper use may cause the back to unexpectedly
detach from the wheelchair.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
I. ADD OR ADJUST LATERAL/POSTERIOR PELVIC
SUPPORT AS REQUIRED
To obtain proper placement, we recommend placing the
individual in the wheelchair with the back adjusted to the
desired height.
Have the person lean forward at the waist and position
the lateral/posterior pelvic support so that the maximum
thickness is immediately at the belt line.
Remove the foam insert from the back by unbuttoning the
two snap buttons located at the bottom of the shell. Add or
remove the lateral/posterior contour strips as needed for the
client. Place the lateral pyramids on the left and right ends
of the lateral/posterior contour strips for additional lumbar
support.
The mounting track for the lateral/posterior contour strips
may be raised or lowered to match the client’s needs by
loosening the mounting track hex nut, sliding in the track,
and re-tightening where needed (L).
NOTE: The lateral/posterior pelvic supports may be difficult
for clients to tolerate initially. Give the individual time to get
accustomed to the support before giving up on it. In the long
run, it may encourage proper posture and enhance sitting
stability.
J. ASSESS AND FIT THE LATERAL THORACIC
SUPPORTS
Assess client for proper positioning of the lateral thoracic
supports. Each support is independent and may be adjusted
for your client’s clinical need.
1. To adjust the height, angle, or width of the lateral thoracic
supports, remove the foam inserts, loosen the internally
mounted bolts (M) and slide in the track to the desired
height and width. The angle is obtained by tilting the
bracket as needed. Tighten the bolts.
2. To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, remove
the pad covers, loosen the attaching bolts, slide to the
desired depth, re-tighten the bolts, and replace the pads.
WARNING!
A minimum of 25 mm (1”) of clearance should exist between
the top of the lateral support and the arm pit.

K. MOUNTING AN OPTIONAL HEADREST
The Jay Fit Back has a universal headrest plate (N)
mounted to it. Care should be taken to use the proper screw
length when mounting.
L. SECURE THE FOAM AND COVER TO THE SHELL
To secure the back foam and cover on the Jay Fit Back,
slide the top edge of the cover over the top lip of the shell.
Press the back in place against the shell, pull the two button
snaps under the bottom of the shell and snap to the buttons.
M. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Following installation and adjustment, the back can be easily
removed from the wheelchair if necessary. Simply twist the
quick release brackets (H - Fig.12.0), out of the way on both
sides and lift the back up and out of the chair.
To replace, lower the stud nuts into the lower receiver
assembly until it rests against the upright posts. Twist the
quick release brackets down over the top hooks on the
back.
The back will retain angle adjustment when removed and
replaced on the wheelchair.
