Height Adjustable Push Handle - RHealthCare Dash Life User Manual

6.18 Backrest Extensions
These are available in a range of height and width
sizes, and are made for fitting into the upper backrest
Frame of all the above models using an adaptor kit.
The backrest extension itself comprises a pair of
straight tubes to which a supporting canvas to suit the
required chair width is secured by fixing screws to the
face of the tubes, in the same manner that the seat
canvas is secured to the chair Frame.
The backrest adaptation kit has two bobbins for each
side which should be screwed into the insert points in
the outside of the Frame. These bobbins remain a
permanent feature on the chair Frame to facilitate
location of the backrest extension by means of the
keyhole slots, which are cut into the inside face of
each extension tube.
The keyhole slot feature allows easy assembly of the
backrest extension or removal for storage of the chair
by the attendant or carer. When the chair is fully open,
the tension in the supporting canvas makes removal of
the extension difficult, and when fitting or removing the

6.19 Tray
The Dash 4 Life has a retrofitable tray which is
attached by using the tray brackets supplied.
When fitting adaptations such as these,
we advise that the user and carer are made
aware of the circumstances of intended use when
the attachment must be removed. This would
certainly be necessary in occupant transportation
in a vehicle, and removal may be required during
other outdoor activity where there is an adverse
effect on performance e.g. stability on sloping
ground, or climatic effects.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE PUSH HANDLE

The Height Adjustable Push Handle is designed
for use on the model Dash 4 Life. It allows for the
increase of both the height and depth of the push
the
handle. The height adjustable push handle
replaces the existing push handle on the chair
and is available as spare. The tube-work attaches
to the existing plastic pivot moulding on the side
frames. The existing single fastening is used to re
attach the assembly. The push handle can be
used in any application the non-adjustable push
handle can be used in but it also means that when
used with a power pack the push handle can be
extended to allow a greater distance between the
attendant and the chair to allow for a more normal
stride pattern. The adjustable push handle will
also be useful for tall attendants who currently
have to bend excessively.
R Healthcare recommends that trained
personnel configure the chair and
carry
following professional assessment.
