Using the Features

5.1 Chair Lock Bar

The red lock bar below the front edge of the seat
disengages the lock for folding and unfolding 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 adjust them to prevent
interference when folding the chair.
2. Roll the chair backward a foot or two to reverse
the swivel wheels (Figure 8)
3. Stand at the side of the chair and grasp the chair
backrest with one hand and the lock bar with the
other hand (Figure 9).
4. Pull the lock bar forward, then begin folding the
seat toward the backrest.
As you fold the seat, tilt the chair forward a little
(Figure 10) to keep the front wheels turned
outward so they will not hold the frame away from
the seat and prevent the lock from engaging.
5. Press the seat against the backrest until the lock
engages (Figure 11).
6. Verify the lock is engaged by pulling the seat away
from the backrest without pulling the lock bar.
The seat will not move if the lock is engaged.
UNFOLDING THE CHAIR
1. Stand beside the chair and grasp the backrest with
one hand and the lock bar with the other hand.
2. Pull the lock bar forward, then pull the seat away
from the backrest until it is fully unfolded and
the lock engages.
3. Verify that the lock has engaged by holding the
backrest in place while pulling up on the chair
frame at the front of the seat without pulling the
lock bar. The chair will not fold if the lock is
engaged.
