Product Features - Invacare Step Up Operating Instructions Manual

DOLOMITE STEP UP
To facilitate height adjustment for the user
we recommend measuring the distance from
elbow to heel while the user is lying on a
bed.

Regardless of body size, an angle of 25
between shoulder and wrist position gives
the best conditions to enable the torso to remain
upright. The position is pre-set and is maintained
regardless of width setting.
Set the armrests so that the elbows are
located close to the body. This automatically
produces a stable three point position where the
hands are moved as close to each other as possible
in relation to the user's body size.
Side stops for the elbows are available as
accessories.
