1. Intended Use

The KIT Seating System is a seat that
has been designed for use by adults
and teenagers (from 12 years old) with
disabilities, in the home, in day centres,
in schools and outdoors, if used on a
mobility base. The seating system has a
maximum user weight of 75kg (165lbs).
The seating system is modular and
can be used with a choice of indoor or
outdoor chassis. The Hi-low chassis
has been designed for indoor use but
can also be used outdoors on an even
surface. The Hi-low chassis should never
