• Attach the two eyes of the knee support to the double-head
screws on both sides of the wheelchair.
• For the personal adjusting of the knee support remove the ribbon
on the front. Center the knee support in front of your knees, so
that the wedge of the knee support is positioned between your
legs. Before pushing the ribbon on the Velcro fastening, check
that the distance between the two eyes is the same. If necessary
move it to one side. The knee support should be just below the
knee cap (ca. one or two inches below). There should be enough
space between knee support and knee to put a hand in between
(see photo 17).
• Check that the chest strap is secure on the backrest at the
required height (velcro fastening).
• Close the catch on the chest strap and pull it tight (not too tight)
(see photo 18).
• To open it again, press the red button in the middle of the catch.
• To slacken, open the catch and hold it at a right angle of the
strap and pull (see photo 19).
Are the knee support and chest strap fastened correctly, your child
is ready to stand up!
