step one - measure
Before transferring into the Bantam medium,
measure for approximate seat depth. Measure
from the back of the knee to the back of the
back (A). Measure the seat to foot plate settings
by measuring from the bottom of the leg to the
bottom of the heal (B).
If the supine option was ordered, make sure the
controller is in the “Sit-to-Stand” position prior to
adjusting seat depth (C). The seat should be
lowered to a seated position for easiest
adjustment.
step two - seat depth
Use the measurement (A) to adjust the seat depth
on the stander, measure from the front of the seat
to the back.
To adjust the seat depth, loosen the knob under
the seat (D). With one hand supporting the back (if
equipped) depress the spring button on the outer
left side of the seat tube underneath the seat (E).
Using the back as a lever, move the seat depth to
the desired setting, noting the color. Tighten knob
securely (D).
Be sure to have one hand supporting the back
assembly (F). Loosen the 2 knobs on the
following arms (G). With one hand supporting the
back assembly ip the gray plunger lever in the
center of each knob fully open (H). Then continue
to loosen the knob until resistance is felt. DO
NOT continue to turn the knob counterclockwise.
Forcing the knob past its stop will damage the
mechanism.
Caution:
Make sure to have one hand supporting
the back assembly, ipping the gray plunger lever
will cause the back assembly to fall.
Using the back as a lever, adjust the following
arms so that the color of the seat depth decals
are matched in the indicator window on the seat
tube underneath the seat. Release the gray
plunger levers to re-engage the locking plungers
in the clamp knobs. You may need to partially
tighten the knobs and slightly move the back
assembly to allow the locking pins to engage their
“home” positions. Fully close the gray plunger
levers and tighten the knobs securely.
step three - back angle
After achieving the desired seat depth, rotate the
back angle adjustment knob (I) so the seat/back
is in the desired angle.
step four - foot plates
Use the (B) measurement to adjust the foot plate
height. Loosen the ratchet handles (J) on the foot
plates to adjust height and plantar/dorsi. Tighten
ratchet handles after positioning. The knees
should be slightly lower than the hip with the legs
resting on the seat.
step ve - knee pads
Position the user’s hips as close as possible to
stander’s hip pivot (K). Position the knee pads
over the knees, not leaving more then a nger
space between the back of the knee and the
seat. Reposition the back and seat depth until 2
nger or less space is reached (L). Tighten knees
securely (M).

Supine Mode
•The unit is locked into supine mode as soon as
the controller is set in that position.
•The hip and knee pivot points are locked at the
determined angle and will not articulate further
until Supine mode is disengaged. The user can be
elevated to a more upright position or descended
to more reclined position while the unit is in supine
mode.
•If the unit is locked in supine mode, you must only
elevate the unit to the point where footplate
bracket comes perpendicular to the oor. DO NOT CONTINUE TO ELEVATE THE
UNIT PAST THIS POINT. Forcing the unit to elevate past its stopping point could
result in a damage and injury.
• When in supine mode, if the limit is reached where the foot bracket is perpendicular to the oor, but the user
wishes to continue to a straighter standing position you must change the controller to sit to stand mode. This will
allow the user to continue toward upright standing without damaging the unit.
Caution: The locking mechanisms used in the supine option have very high holding power. By familiarity of the
feel of the hydraulic pump or the sound of the electric actuator under load in the Pow’r Up option, depending on
how the unit is equipped, the operator may be easily aware of the mechanical limits being reached with the supine
option. If too great a load is placed on these mechanical locks, damage may result in either the locks or in the
frame of the stander. Your warranty does not cover damage from misuse of the product. Damage to the unit may
result if you attempt to exceed these mechanical limits.
Sit-to-Stand Mode
•The unit is locked into sit to stand mode when the
foot bracket is locked to the base frame.
•Please note that even though the controller is set
to sit to stand mode, the foot plate bracket must
be brought perpendicular to the oor and locked
into place. If the bracket is not already in position
this can be accomplished by:
- Pushing the back all the way forward
to the end of its range (approximately
90 upright).
- Pushing the footplate bracket all the way
down and backward toward the base to the end of its range.
• Listen for a clicking sound to indicate that the unit is locked into sit to stand mode.
•If you can move the back support, or foot supports forward or backward, the unit is not yet locked in sit to
stand mode.
•The sit to stand mode allows the user to move between sitting and standing positions. The hip and knee pivot
points articulate while maintaining constant angles for the back and foot support bracket.
Neutral Mode
•The controller should only be set in the neutral
position when changing between the sit to stand
and supine positioning modes.
• Do not leave the controller in neutral position with
a person in the Bantam. The unit is not providing
the user any support when in neutral mode.
•The neutral position allows the foot bracket
supports, and the back support to move freely at
the hip and knee pivot points.
Designed with ease of use and the safety and comfort of the user in mind, the Controller (as shown) is the single
point of operation for the supine option. The Controller has 3 positions: Neutral, Sit-to-Stand, and Supine. There is
a spring loaded safety collar (red colored) which prevents inadvertent switching between modes. It must be lifted
upward into the shift knob before the mode can be changed.
