post. The Wing-back should be positioned so that it is above the
wheelchair armrest.

3. Attach the screws so that the seat back and the Wing-back are

both secure.

The angle of the Wing-back may be adjusted by applying pressure
to the metal bracket and bending it slightly. To avoid damaging
the Wing-back, be sure to brace the whole product with your hand
