Page 38 Important Safety Advice We at JCM are committed to producing products of the highest standard. All of our products fulfil the essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives. However, improper use of the products will potentially put the users at risk and therefore JCM strongly suggest that the following information is strictly adhered to at all times.
Page 39 Important Safety Advice - (Accessories) Multi Adjustable Head support Wings on the head support are ideally set at 45 degrees. Do NOT bring the wings in tight to the head. Ensure that the head support is set in such a way that the child cannot loop their head around the wings and get stuck. Flexi-Supports and Lateral Supports Ensure the straps do not infringe on any feeding tubes the child may have. Pommel The pommel is designed to abduct the users knees to help keep the hips in a good position. Do NOT use the pommel as a way of holding the user in the seat. Remove the pommel when transferring the user in and out of the seat. Foot Sandals and Straps Should only be fixed when the user is wearing shoes or boots. Tray Do NOT use the tray as a way of securing children in a chair always ensure that the lap strap and any other straps supplied are used. Ensure that the tray clips are secure on both sides of the tray. If the tray is damaged, ensure that this will not be a hazard to the user. Never leave hot items on the tray while children are unattended.
Page 40 • The sternum strap on the chest harness should always be adjusted prior to use to ensure that it is no higher than the middle of the users chest. • A lap strap should always be fitted if a harness is being used to ensure the child cannot slide down onto the sternum strap. • Always ensure that the belts offer your child both comfort and support. If the childs clothing has been adjusted (i.e. a jumper removed) the straps should be re- adjusted accordingly. Fixing Onto Chair The straps at the top of the harness should be attached to the back frame of the chair. The Triton comes with a fixing point either side at the top back of the chair for attachment of straps and harnesses. The straps at the bottom of the harness should be located to the back of the seat frame. Fastening of Belts • Feed the fabric belt through the buckle on the strap. • The belts should be pulled through enough to suitably support your child whilst still being comfortable. • When this has been achieved the buckle should be snapped closed to secure the strap in place. The same precautions highlighted here should be adhered to when using any form of trunk supports or flexi supports with straps.

Page 56 Refer to JCMs fabric cleaning guide which can be found on their website www.jcmseating.co.uk Do not use bleach, acidic, solvent, abrasive, biological or phenolic based cleaners. Metal Framework • If all upholstery is removed the metal framework can be cleaned with hot soapy water and detergent or it can be steam cleaned. (Labelling may need to be replaced following steam cleaning). • Ensure that the framework is thoroughly dried after cleaning. • Always ensure that any moving or adjustable parts are re-lubricated. General Maintenance General maintenance should be carried out by a competent, professional person who is well informed on how to use the equipment (see warranty - page 9) if there is no such person available or a more thorough check is needed, a service via an approved repairer (see opposite) should be booked. The person who carries out the maintenance check or service should always fill out the service history log record (page 8) in order to ensure the warranty remains valid. As documented opposite, the degree of maintenance required is dependant on various factors relating to the use of the product. In addition to the specific functional adjustment warnings specified in this manual, it should be ensured that a thorough inspection of the following should be completed at no greater than 6 month intervals: (Points listed here are generic across the JCM range and do not apply to all products). Castors • Lift base and check each wheel to ensure it is not damaged, loose or worn. • Removing any grease or dirt that has built up on the wheels, check that the brakes Brakes stop the wheels rotating. • Check they are securely fixed in place & that there are no signs of damage or wear & tear. • Ensure handles are functioning correctly. Pushing • Check there are no signs of damage or wear and tear. Handles • Ensure push handle grips are secure.
Page 57 What should be completed during a service? A service is a comprehensive combination of inspection, maintenance and repair or replacement of worn, faulty or missing components. The growth and any changes of the occupants needs since the original assessment is taken into account when performing the service. This is in contrast to general maintenance (opposite), where only straightforward checks, inspections and adjustments take place and primary services are planned. What happens if a fault is found? If any faults are found that could prove to be a risk to either the user or the operator then all use of the equipment should be ceased immediately until the product has been repaired. Who should carry out the service? It is stressed that only a JCM approved repairer or a person with competent training of a Class medical device should carry out this work. Any modifications must not be carried out without prior agreement of JCM Seating Solutions Ltd. It must be understood that unauthorised modifications may pose a risk to users and attendants. Unauthorised modifications will also invalidate the warranty. Any new parts required should be genuine JCM Seating Solutions Ltd. approved parts, fitted to JCM specifications. Frequency of Service JCM recommend that a service of this product is completed once every 6 months as a minimum. However, the frequency of inspection and service must be altered depending upon the severity of use. If the system is used in any of the following ways then the use could be said to be fairly heavy and constant. Therefore we would recommend the service interval be reduced to once every three months;...

Page 60 Inspecting & Reissuing of Equipment Most JCM Seating Solutions Ltd. products are individually assessed for a client prior to issue. They are handed over in a controlled way to ensure optimum fit and specification, checks are completed and any additional individual verbal instructions given. We therefore recommend the following points are adhered to prior to any re-issue of equipment: • Cleaning Follow a rigorous process of cleaning in order to decontaminate the product and eliminate the chance of cross infection. • Assessment of Fabrics / Foams Carefully assess the condition of fabrics and foams in the seating product, and have these replaced partially or even completely if need be. In severe cases if the chassis is worn and the seating in poor condition it may be necessary to have the product re- furbished by the manufacturer. In very severe cases if the chassis is badly worn and the seating in very poor condition then the product should be decommissioned and disposed of. • Electrical and Electronic Equipment Decomissioning If your product is set up with an electrical function you should always contact JCM or your authorised representative for de-comissioning information. • Appropriateness of Equipment Check that the equipment supplied is appropriate for the needs of the user taking age, weight, ability, diagnosis, and any other important factors into account.

If they are found inappropriate, remedial action (if considered safe and practical) should be taken to reverse them if possible. • Labelling Any labelling specific to the previous user should be removed and replaced with labelling specific to the new user. • Adjustment Adjustment of the equipment to the new user must be carried out by suitably qualified and experienced professionals. These adjustments along with the other appropriate checks and tests should be completed with the owners knowledge and agreement. • Hand Over Competent handing over of the equipment to the new user or attendant must include proper training and advice in safe use, particularly regarding transportation issues. • Packaging Always ensure that the chair is packaged correctly before delivery. • Handle Fitting Please note that the handle fitted is dependent on the size of the chair. You therefore need to ensure the size label on the handle matches the size of the chair being used.
