Assembly
IMPORTANT: Assembly should be completed by a
qualified service technician. The Air Comfort is
shipped in 2 components – the chair base (A)
and the chair back (B).
1. Ensure that the Chair Base (A) is positioned on a flat, even surface.
2. Carefully position the Chair Back (B) above the Chair Base – aligning the
metal struts (C) on the chair base, with the metal guides (D) on the chair back.
3. Carefully slide the struts into the guides until an audible “click” is heard.
Check that there is solid connection between struts and guides. (E)
4. Test the chair/base connection by placing downward manual pressure
between the 2 components – prior to sitting on the Compact.
5. With the chair empty, put the backrest into full recline. Position at a safe
distance from the wall so when full backrest recline is engaged the chair
does not come in contact with the wall or furniture items.

and tightened if required.
Castors should be checked and kept free from foreign matter such as hair.
If any part of the Air Comfort Compact Lift Chair is damaged, it should be
removed from service immediately until repaired or replaced. Please refer to
page 15 for details on servicing requirements.

Cleaning
The Air Comfort Compact Lift Chair should be washed regularly with mild
soapy solution or approved cleaner on heavily stained areas. Treat stains
promptly to prevent permanent staining on upholstery.
The castors should be wiped with a mild soapy solution and then dried
after heavy use.
The handset is not fully water proof - for cleaning it can be wiped over
with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in liquid.
Motor
The motors are maintenance free. They are protected by thermal
overloads and will stop automatically if operated excessively. If the motors
stop after over-use, wait until the motors have cooled before further use.
Warning:
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products
• Do not high pressure clean the Air Compact Lift Chair.
• Do not autoclave.
• Dispose the electric components (power adaptor and battery pack) in
accordance with local government regulation.

Seating System
This product is fitted with the unique
Air Comfort Seating System that is
designed to redistribute seating
pressure and improve overall
comfort. The Air Comfort Seating
System is comprised of four
separate air cushions:
• Backrest air cushion
• Lumbar air cushion
• Seat air cushion
• Leg rest air cushion
Each air cushion is inflated to a
pre-determined volume that is
based on extensive testing.
This inflation will be suitable for
most users provided that the
correct size chair has been selected
or prescribed. It is unlikely that the
level of inflation in the air cushions
will require adjustment to suit an
individual user, however, should
adjustment be desired, please
follow the detailed instructions
outlined below.
Please note that these instructions
explain how to reset each air
cushion to the original level of
standard inflation.
To do so, it is first necessary to fully
deflate each air cushion. If for any
reason additional inflation beyond
standard is desired, it is not necessary
to first deflate the air cushions.

Maintenance
Resetting Air Cushions: Step 1 – Deflation
Each of the four air cushions is fitted with an extended tube and brass
Schrader valve that can be accessed externally on the chair. When facing
the chair, each valve is located on the left hand side of the upholstery.
First remove the valve cap.
To gradually release air, FLIP THE CAP OVER
and use the tip to compress the valve core.
Simultaneously apply pressure to the cushion
by hand or by sitting in the chair until the
cushion is fully deflated.
To quickly deflate the cushion, use the hand
tool supplied to remove the valve core. Then
apply pressure to the cushion by hand or by
sitting in the chair until the cushion is fully
deflated.

NOTE: To reset inflation level to standard setting, ensure the air cushion is first fully deflated.

Resetting Air Cushions: Step 2 – Inflation
If the valve core has been removed to quickly deflate the cushion, first refit
the valve core to prevent air escaping following reinflation. Each AirComfort
chair is supplied with a hand inflation pump. Correct inflation is based on air
volume and measured by the number of full compressions of the hand pump.
It is possible to purchase a larger pump (FOOTPUMP) for improved efficiency.
Caution:There is a low level of inflation as standard in each of the air cushions.
This level of inflation is set to ensure that the user benefits from maximum
immersion into the cushion, while still being supported by air. Correct immersion
into the cushion increases overall surface contact, redistributes pressure and
improves comfort. Conversely, adding too much inflation beyond standard can
increase seating pressure and reduce comfort.
