5.6.1 Lift off side cushion
If your Puma 40 is equipped with the Sedeo Ergo seat
cushions you have the ability to swing out and remove the side
support cushion without the use of tools. This facilitates side
transfers especially when the chair is fitted with lateral knee or
hip supports.
To remove the side cushion:
• Pull the plastic lever that is attached to the aluminium seat
side rails backwards, (A-Fig.5.8).
• Swing the back part of the cushion outwards to an angle of
approximately 10°.
• Lift the cushion out from the front pin.
To refit the side cushion:
• Align the pin at the front edge of the seat plate with the hole
of the aluminium side rail.
• Slide the rail onto the pin and swing the side cushion all the
way in, until the latch locks in with an audible click.
• As with all moving parts be careful not to trap your fingers

reference.
