5.1 Folding and Unfolding the Chair

The red lock bar below the front edge of the seat disengages the lock for
unfolding and folding the chair. Before seating a patient, verify that the
chair is completely unfolded and the lock is engaged.
FOLDING THE CHAIR
1. Buckle the restraints and arrange the straps to prevent interference
with folding the chair.
2. Roll the chair backward to reverse the swivel wheels (Figure 5).
3. Standing at the side of the chair, grasp the lift bar with one hand
and the lock bar with the other hand.
4. Pull the lock bar forward or toward the front of the chair (Figure 6),
then fold the seat toward the lift bar.
AS YOU FOLD THE SEAT: Tilt the chair forward (Figure 7) to keep
the swivel wheels rotated outward. This prevents the wheels from
holding the frame away from the seat and allows the lock to engage.
5. Press the seat against the back-panel frame until the lock engages
(Figure 8).
6. Verify the lock has engaged by pulling the seat away from the lift
bar without pulling the lock bar. The seat will not move if the lock
is engaged.


Note: If the swivel wheels prevent the chair from locking in the folded
position, hold the chair at a greater tilt to allow the swivel wheels to rotate
away from the chair frame.
UNFOLDING THE CHAIR
1. Stand beside the chair and grasp the lift bar with one hand and
the lock bar with the other hand.
2. Pull the lock bar forward (toward the front of the chair), then pull
the seat away from the lift bar until the chair fully unfolds and the
lock engages.
3. To verify the lock has engaged, hold the lift bar while pulling up
on the chair frame at the front of the seat. The chair will not fold if
the lock is engaged.
