Chair Location
• Position the chair in your chosen location, ensuring that the chair has
enough space to recline fully and freely. There should be no objects
behind the chair that will obstruct the chair movement and it should never
touch the wall when it reclines. Such obstructions will cause damage to
the chair and its mechanism and will invalidate the warranty.
• The leg rest should move freely with no objects to restrict this movement.
• Position the chair free from any trailing wires.
• Ensure that the chair is within easy reach of a power point to plug in the
transformer (unless fitted with an Accupak) and the air pump.
Chair Set Up
• To position the back onto the base of the chair stand behind the
chair and lay the back of the chair, face down and on top of the arms,
ensuring that you align the brackets on the back rest to the upright
supports on the base of the chair. Using slight pressure, slot the back
onto these supports and click into place. On some models you will find
a small lever attached to both brackets (locking bar). These should be
pushed forward to lock the back into position. Fit the back flap by
using the Velcro attachments to complete the back set up.
• If you need to remove the back, release the locking bars (where
applicable) and pull the back upwards and off.
• If you have an electric powered chair for safety reasons check that
the extension cable, which is located at the rear of the chair, has not
been damaged in transportation. On satisfaction connect the chair to
your transformer.
• ALWAYS ensure that the transformer is placed in a flat position and
the correct way up.
• Once the transformer has been connected to the chair, plug the unit
into the power source and switch the power on ready for use.
NB: The chair is safe when the power source is left on.
Cushion Set Up
• These chairs come with pressure management features such as
different seat cushion options and different backs. You should always
seek professional advice and/or support when using a chair for
pressure management and postural control.
• The back cushions can come in different styles and are inter-
changeable depending on your chair model and your postural and
comfort requirements. Please consult your supplier for different options.
• There are a number of seat options depending on your postural and
comfort requirements. They offer differing pressure management
options. Please consult your supplier for the different options.
• To change the seat cushion slip your hand down the back of the seat
cushion and pull. This will release the seat cover from the Velcro.
Then peel back the seat cover to reveal the cushion. Simply pull the
cushion free from its Velcro and replace with new seat cushion option
ensuring that the Velcro is correctly aligned. Always ensure that the
fitted label is at the front of the seat, face up.
• If you choose the Air Cushion please ask your supplier for the
separate pump leaflet and please read the instructions carefully.
