• Footplate angle: There are three angle settings on the footplate labelled A, B and C. (fig
4b) To change the angle of the footplate loosen the bolts at each side of the footplate
(left and right), remove the bolts, set the footplate to the desired angle (A,B or C, fig 4b)
and insert and tighten the bolts in the new bolt hole. Please Note: when getting out of
the chair, simply fold up the footplate so that it is parallel with the calf pad. Do not stand
on the footplate when getting out of the chair.
• Negative angle leg rest: The leg rest on the chair can be set at a negative angle setting
for clients with tight hamstrings. See diagram below showing positions A, B and C.
To change the setting loosen the bolts at each side of the leg rest (left and right),
remove the bolts, move the leg rest to the desired setting and insert and tighten
the bolts.
• Chair movement: To move the chair around, ensure that the back is in a fully upright
position, the brakes are disengaged and push using the push handle on the back.
Only a competent person should move this chair. Engage the directional lock castor
on the front left of the chair to control the direction of the chair and for ease of
maneuverability.
• Seat cushion: The seat cushion on the PHOENIX™ is a waterproof, pressure
redistributing breathable medium foam cushion providing pressure management and
comfort. The seat cushion will have non-slip material on one face and a zip closure on
one side.
To fit the seat cushion to the chair, ensure the non-slip material is on the bottom
and makes contact with the non-slip material already on the baseboard, with the zip
closure at the rear. This is important as the foams' structure allows good immersion
and envelopment of the body ONLY when fitted as instructed.
