Adjustments - Helping Hand Symmetrikit Medium Instruction Manual

Care instructions:-
Regular maintenance will ensure that your chair gives many years of reliable service.
We recommend that the chair is inspected and serviced annually. In cases where the
chair is subject to excessive loads i.e. used by a person with repetitive or destructive
movement patterns that the chair is inspected monthly.
Ensure the area around the castors is clear before and during moving the chair.
Cleaning:-
All of the covers are removable for cleaning or can be wiped down in situ. If the outer
covers are removed for washing the chair can still be used as all the cushions are either
closed cell foam or have water proof covers.
All of the fabrics are Teflon treated for easy cleaning and are waterproof. They can be
washed at 40°C using a mild detergent. Do not iron, dry clean, bleach or tumble dry.
The frame of the chair can be cleaned by wiping down with a mild disinfectant solution.
If necessary it can be steam cleaned but it must be thoroughly dried before use.
Battery maintenance:-
The battery of your chair has been designed to give a good working time between
charges but it must be charged regularly. The handset has a charge level indicator to
show when a recharge is required. When the light is illuminated red it is time to
recharge. A full charge from a flat battery will take ten hours. The charger is shown in
the centre picture below.
When recharging use only the charger provided with your chair. It is plugged in to the
charge lead at the back of the chair. Marry up the three pins from the charger to the
three pins in the charge socket from the chair, click together, plug the charger into the
your electrical supply and turn on to charge. A light indicator will appear on the battery
charger when charging. This will dim as the chair is charging and will go out all together
when the battery is charged.
Please note:- In order to protect the charger the chair will not operate when the charger
is plugged into it.

Frames:-
The back height is adjusted by loosening the clamp screws
arrowed. Once loose, lift the extending back rods up by holding
on to the chair handles and lifting upwards. They can then be
raised or lowered as required. When at the correct height,
tighten the clamps.
On the side of the right hand upright tube there are calibration
markings. When adjusting the chair compare these settings
with those on the settings chart supplied with the chair. As the
user's requirements change record the new settings for future
reference.

5) Back Rest height.
Before setting the height it is
necessary to open the top of the
back shell as illustrated.
To do this lift the top front edge
off the Velcro and hinge the shell
back. This will expose the back
rods of the chair.
After adjustment re-fit the cover.
