Important Safety Instructions - Repose Arden User Manual

Important Safety Instructions

The following instructions are for your own safety, the
safety of others and to ensure that the chair is used
correctly and in line with the warranty conditions.
Please ensure that:
• YOU ALWAYS KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE as you will need them for
reference purposes.
• ALL CARERS AND ATTENDANTS are trained in the full use of the chair and are qualified
to provide advice on the pressure management and postural care options.
• YOU UNDERSTAND the features of the chair and how they might be used to benefit
particular users.
• PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ the basic technical checks. If you have purchased either of the
Accupak or 20 cycle rechargeable battery systems, as an optional extra, please ensure you read
the relevant instructions carefully.
• YOU UNDERSTAND the recommended user weight limit for your chair. It will be dependent
on the Repose chair model that you have chosen. Please ensure that you understand these limits
and DO NOT exceed them. This may damage the chair and will invalidate your warranty.
• YOU CHECK the chair and cables regularly to ensure that they are in a suitable working
condition and that there is no damage. DO NOT USE the chair if it is not working properly
or damaged.
• The back frame IS SECURED to the seat frame using the brackets. They MUST ALWAYS
BE LOCKED TOGETHER using the locking bolts on either side which must be secured tightly.
DO NOT USE the chair if the bolts are not securely in place. (See page 26 for instructions).
• YOU ALWAYS move the chair around using the front of the arms and that you are mindful of
your own physical attributes as you carry out any such movements, particularly as this is a heavy
chair with a weight of 14 stone (89.5kg). DO NOT use other parts of the chair to move it around
as this may cause damage to the framework and workings of the chair and will invalidate your
warranty.
• YOU ALWAYS take the necessary precautions and advice when carrying out any movement or
handling operations. Due to the weight of the chair two people may be required to carry out
chair locational movement / set up.
• When using the functionality of the chair whilst someone is seated ALWAYS ensure that
any movements are smooth and comfortable for the user to avoid any distress.
