10. Setting up the chair for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled.
The following assembly instructions must be
carried out before first-time use:
1. Swivel the armrests to the back, insert the
backrest into the tubes of the chair frame and
push it down until it hits the striker of the lower
frame.
2. Swivel the armrests forwards until they click
into the slots of the backrest and the locking
pins click into the lower frame. Be sure they
are securely in place.
3. For chairs with height adjustment, the seat
height of the chair is set at its lowest position
for delivery (Base setting). Adjust the height as
necessary (see: 11.7).
11. Using the chair
When using the chair, the following points
must be adhered to:
Before use it must be assured that the chair is in a
proper condition for safe use. If possible,
depending on the physical and strength limitations
of the user (patient’s ability to move and muscle
strength), sitting down and getting up should not
be done without assistance from a care worker.
The chair may not be used for long patient
transport times.
11.1 Sitting down
Before sitting down in the chair, be sure it is
secured against slipping away (see: 11.9) and
tipping over, that the armrests are locked into
position, and that the shower/commode seat is
properly mounted.
The patient should stand as
closely as possible near the
chair. He should then sit down
slowly on the whole seat while
supporting himself using both
armrests
If this is not possible due to his
physical limitations, then a
care-worker must assist him. If
necessary a patient lifter may
have to be used.
