WARNING
Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backwards potentially resulting in injury.

amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase stability.
WARNING
Do not use the back to push or lift wheelchair.
Improper use may cause the back to unexpectedly
detach from the wheelchair.

or therapist experienced in seating and positioning be con-
sulted to determine if a Basic Back is appropriate. Backs
should only be installed by an authorized Sunrise edical
supplier.

JAY BASIC BACK WITH CL AMP HARDWARE
INSTALLING THE BASIC BACK WITH
CLA P HARDWARE
To install the Jay Basic Back, it is best to begin without a user in the
wheelchair.
1. Remove sling upholstery from wheelchair according to the
wheelchair manufacturers instructions.
2. If an aftermarket cushion is going to be used on the chair,
ensure that it is placed on the wheelchair to ensure proper
back height placement.
3. Visually determine the desired location of the receivers on
the wheelchair’s back canes. The mounting hardware should
be at approximately equal heights on each back post (Fig. 3)
and parallel to the seat frame (Fig. 4).
4. Attach the hardware receivers by removing the screws (Fig.
5-A) and wrapping the hinge around the wheelchair back-
canes.
NOTE– Two sets of screws are inclu e with the Jay Basic Back. For smaller
7/8" tubing, use the shorter screws. For wi er 1" tubing, use the
longer screws.
NOTE– The hinge an the tapere attachment must be aligne when
assembling screws.
Reattach and tighten the screws enough to the secure the
bracket in place. Note that the tapered attachment point
should be facing upwards (B) and the hinge should be facing
forward (C).
NOTE– For 7/8” tubing, place pin in slot D (Fig. 5).
For 1” tubing, place pin in slot E (Fig. 5).
5. Tighten bracket screws (A) using a 4mm hex key (included
with Basic Back). Note: Back height may require additional
adjustment to ensure proper fit to the user.
6. Align the back shell to the mounting hardware, if the width of
the shell-side hardware needs adjustment, please reference
the adjustment section.
7. Attach the back shell to the mounting hardware by raising
the shell horizontally and lower onto mounting hardware
(Fig. 6). Once the shell is seated properly on the hardware
rotate the shell bottom so that the back shell is in a vertical
position (Fig. 7).
8. Test that the attachment is aligned properly by removing and
re-attaching the back shell. Proper alignment of the mounting
hardware and back is achieved when the back can be
smoothly attached and released.
9. If proper alignment has not been achieved, adjust the compo-
nents (according to step #3) until properly aligned.
10. Once properly aligned, tighten the hardware receiver clamp
screws (Fig. 5-A). The recommended torque specification is
15-20 in-lbs. (1.7- 2.3 Nm).

2. Securely tighten the clamp screws (A). The recommended
torque specification is 15 - 20 in-lbs (1.7 - 2.3 Nm).

shell-side hardware by loosening nuts (Fig. 12-E) and placing
upper or lower hardware in optional holes (Fig. 9-B).
Securely tighten the chair-side mounting hardware. The recom-
mended torque specification is 75 - 85 in-lbs (8.5 - 9.6 Nm).

tapered pin to match (Fig. 11, inset G). The recommended
torque specification is 15 - 20 in-lbs (1.7 - 2.3 Nm).
To minimize seat depth loss, place the lower mounting hardware
(F) in a lower mounting hole as seen in Fig. 13. The recommended
torque specification is 25-30 in-lbs (2.8 - 3.4 Nm).
3. Width Adjustment (Fig. 12)
