d) 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 “A”.
e) Always turn the quick release quarter turn bracket to the
“DOWN” position (Diagram 4) to secure the top hook in
place.
NOTE:
The back is properly secured when the bottom pins are resting in
the lower post brackets and the upper quick release quarter turn
brackets are installed above the back support’s top hook brackets
with the quick release mechanism pointing down.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Do not use Jay Care Back to push or lift wheelchair. Improper use
may cause the back to unexpectedly detach from the wheelchair.
INSTALLING & ADJUSTING THE JAY CARE
BACK
Installing the Jay Care Back
1. Place the Jay Care Back in the wheelchair so that the bottom
pins slide into the the bottom Universal Post Bracket hard-
ware receivers. The Back’s top hooks should rest against the
wheelchair back posts. The bottom pin head should extend
past the outside edge of the post bracket receiver.
NOTE:
If the wheelchair measures slightly wider than the usual 16" (40cm),
18" (46cm), or 20" (50cm) widths, it may be necessary to order
Extended Hardware, part# M-301. Call your local authorized supplier.
INSTALLING THE TOP QUICK RELEASE
QUARTER TURN BRACKET HARDWARE
Tighten all fasteners to 20 in.-lbs. (2.3 N-m) using a Phillips No. 2
screwdriver.
1. Attach one top quick release quarter turn bracket to each
upright post of the wheelchair.
a) The top quick release quarter turn bracket is designed to
fit on 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" and 1" (1.6, 1.9, 2.2 and 2.5 cm)
diameter back post tubing. (The bracket comes assem-
bled to attach to 7/8" or 1" (2.2 or 2.5 cm) tubing) Check
diagram 3 to determine which strap hole is appropriate
for the installation. Wrap the strap around the wheelchair
post. Screw “A” may have to be loosened to align the
strap hole with the barrel nut located inside the bracket
body. Place a washer on screw “B” and insert the screw
through the appropriate hole in the strap.
b) Tighten screw “B” into the barrel nut through the side of
the bracket body. Tighten the opposite screw if neces-
sary.
c) Snap the screw caps over both screw heads.
