Parts List

Installation

Preparations

Only a qualified service technician may install the Simple Solutions Adapter Interface HD and its accessories.

Installation Plan

Set up an installation plan before beginning the installation. This plan should take into account:

the placement of the interface in relation to the back support;
the manner in which the interface will be operated, including its attached adjustable laterals; and,
the amount of clearance necessary for other hardware and accessories.

WARNING

Incorrect installation of the adapter interface or its accessories may cause damage to the hardware and/or injury to the user.

Required Tools

Use the proper tools to install and adjust the adapter interface to the user’s desired position and specifications.
Below are the tools needed to complete the installation of the adapter plate:

Required Tools

(Tools are not provided.)

CAUTION

The use of improper tools may cause damage to the device. Under- or over- tightening fasteners can cause components to fail or cause the user discomfort. The tools required to install additional accessories are detailed in the manuals provided with those accessories.

Installing the Adapter to the Back Support

Nearly any positioning requirement can be met with the Simple Solutions Adapter Interface HD.

Step One – Loosen the Fasteners: Loosen the fasteners necessary to adjust the Adapter Wings (B), Adapter Links (D), and Mounting Plates (E) to mount to the back shell.

Step Two – Adjust the Width: Adjust the Adapter Wings (B) to the approximate width of the slots in the back shell. The four flat head screws that secure the Adapter Wings (B) to the Adapter Plate (A) can be installed in three different mounting positions to accommodate an extra two inches (2″) in width. Choose the best position and snug the flat head screws to secure the Adapter Wings (B) in position. See “ Adjustment – Mounting Plate Width Adjustment “.

Step Three – Height Setting: Using the button head screws attaching the links to the Adapter Wings (B), adjust the Adapter Links (D) and Mounting Plates (E) vertically to match the mounting slots in the back support. To achieve the best support, the Mounting Plates (E) should be mounted as wide as the mounting locations of the back support will allow. Mounting Plates (E) may be mounted as shown below (Vertical configuration) to fit taller back supports, or to accommodate bi-angular configurations. See Adjustment – Mounting Plate Height Adjustment.

Installation Step 3

Step Four – Mounting Plate Rotation: If necessary, loosen the flat head screws and rotate the Mounting Plates (E) to properly orient the slots in the Mounting Plates (E) with the mounting locations of the back support. See Adjustment – Mounting Plate Rotation.

Step Five – Depth Setting: Loosen the screws securing the Adapter Link (D) segments and adjust the angle of the links and the Mounting Plate (E) to adjust the depth of the back support. Tighten the socket head screws to secure the links in the new position. Note that in the vertical configuration (shown above right) the Mounting Plates (E) can be positioned at different angles to allow a bi-angular back support installation. See Adjustment – Link Adjustment.

Step Six – Attach the Shell: Insert the button head screws through the fender washers and the front (user) side of the back support and attach to the Mounting Plates (E) using nylon lock nuts.

Step Seven – Install Adapter Plate to the Chair: Align the mounting locations on the Adapter Plate (A) with the mounting posts on the chair back. Slide the Adapter plate over the posts and it should slide into position on the posts.

Installation Step 7 Continued

Step Eight: Install the Thumb Screw: The thumb screw is designed to hold Adapter Plate (B), and the back support attached to it, securely to the spine of the chair. Do not attempt to operate the chair without installing the thumb screw into the location shown in the image above.

Step Nine – Tighten All Fasteners: Check all fasteners for tightness. The fasteners should be snug but not over-tightened.

WARNING

The thumb screw securing the adapter plate in position on the knobs is required for the installation of the SSAPTB4-HD. Do not attempt to use the chair unless it is properly installed.

Adjustment

Link Adjustment

The UniLink™ Adapter Links are used to provide fine width and lateral positioning adjustment capability for a back support.

Step 1: Loosen the 4mm socket head screw at the link that needs adjustment.

Step 2: Rotate the link to the desired position.

Step 3: Tighten the 4mm socket head screw to secure the link in the new position. The screw should be snug, but do not overtighten it.

Link Adjustment

Mounting Plate Rotation

The Mounting Plates (E) can be rotated to one of four positions (90° apart) to align with mounting holes of a back support.

Step 1: Loosen and remove the 3mm flat head screw securing the mount to the link.

Step 2: Remove the mount from the link and rotate it in increments of 90° to align the pin with one of the four adjustment holes in the mount.

Step 3: Replace the mount on the link and secure with the 3mm flat head screw. The screw should be snug, but do not overtighten it.*

Mounting Plate Rotation

Thread locking compound may be used, if desired.

Mounting Plate Height Adjustment

The links can be moved vertically to align with differently spaced mounting locations in the back support. Ideally, these should be spaced as far apart as the back support will allow.

Step 1: Loosen the two 4mm button head screws securing the link to the plate.

Step 2: Slide the link up or down to the new position.

Step 3: Secure the link in the new position by tightening the two 4mm button head screws. The screws should be snug, but do not overtighten them.

Mounting Plate Width Adjustment

The Adapter Wings (B) are adjustable to fit different width back supports.

Step 1: With the 4mm hex key, loosen the four flat head screws securing the wing to the adapter interface.

Step 2: Slide the wing into its new position. If more width is needed, the flat head screws may be relocated to the locations shown to gain one or two inches of width, per side.

Step 3: Tighten the four flat head screws to secure the wing in its new position. Make sure the screws are snug, but do not overtighten.

Mounting Plate Width Adjustment

Removing and Reinstalling the Adapter

This is the final step in the implementation of the Simple Solutions Adapter Interface. Further adjustments to the interface or attached back support are possible without removal from the chair or made easier by the simplicity of the removal and installation of the adapter.

Step One: Remove the thumb screw from the lower left of the center spine, as shown in the image to the right. Align the Adapter Center Plate with the knobs located on the center spine of the chair.

Step Two: Slip the adapter plate over the knobs and press it into position. Replace the thumb screw in the lower left hole of the adapter, as shown.

WARNING

The thumb screw securing the adapter plate in position on the knobs is required for the installation of the SSAPTB4-HD. Do not attempt to use the chair unless it is properly installed.

First-Time Use
