IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

INTRODUCTION
• The P Pod provides overall postural support by distributing the user’s weight
evenly over a large support surface.
• It is recommended that the amount of time a user sits in the P Pod is
controlled, this should not exceed more than 3 hours at a time.
• Removing the user from the P Pod is advised after such a period to offer
a change of posture. By doing this you will improve the user’s tolerance to
sitting in the P Pod on a daily basis.

Belt are not buried underneath the Positioning Pod as it will be difcult to retrieve
them once the user is seated in the seat.

the user are positioned as far back
as possible into the Positioning
Pod.

user (Fig 5) and adjust the strap
length as necessary.
Note: it may be necessary to
remove the Positioning Pod from
the Bean Bag Base to adjust the
length of the belt straps from the
rear if the straps are too long in the front.
5. Adjustments to the position of the Positioning Pod on the Bean Bag can be
done by simply holding the pod and move it into different position.
