3. Operation

3.1. Wheel blocking

The Lotus has 2 braked wheels on the side of the caretaker.
The 2 smaller swivel wheels are unrestrained.
• The brake can be applied on the Lotus by pushing the blue
lip (1) on the wheel downwards (See figure 1).
• In order to take the Lotus off the brake, the same lip on the
wheel must be moved upwards by tapping the upper side
of the lip (2) (See figure 1).

3.2. Base spreading

The Lotus can be used as a standup aid with shower-toilet
chairs, shower stretchers, beds, toilets, chairs and
wheelchairs. The Lotus is equipped with a mechanical base
spreader. By using the base spreader, the Lotus can be rolled
close to the person with the disability. In the narrower
position, the Lotus can be manoeuvred easily in small rooms.
By kicking one of the pedals, the base parts will move inwards
or outwards (depending on the pedal chosen).

3.3. Rotatable sitting parts

The Lotus is equipped with 2 comfortable sitting parts that
can be rotated away. Rotate both parts away before rolling
the Lotus towards the client (See figure 3). Have the client
stand on the Lotus. Ensure that he / she positions his / her
legs in the centre of the footplate and that the shins rest
against the lower leg support. Now the client can pull himself
/ herself up. Now, rotate the sitting parts back, thus enabling
the client to sit down (See figure 4).
