03 OPERATION
CASTORS
All three of the total lock castors on the DELUXE V2 MUST be braked when the chair is stationary. The total lock castors
have a RED brake lever at the trailing end of the castor whilst the directional lock castor has a GREEN locking lever at the
trailing end of the castor. The directional lock castor can be unbraked to allow the DELUXE V2 to be moved sideways and
re-braked to improve straightline tracking of the chair when being pushed. NOTE: Before engaging the directional castor,
push the chair forward and then brake the directional locking castor, setting the castor to it’s correct alignment.
To BRAKE CASTOR
using your foot, push lever down.
To UNBRAKE CASTOR
using your foot, push top of lever down.
Note: Castors should be inspected daily, ensuring that all foreign matter (hair, lint etc) is removed
from the castors as soon as possible, allowing free movement of all castors.

SEATING SYSTEM
This product is fitted with the unique AirComfort Seating System that is designed to redistribute seating pressure and
improve overall comfort. The AirComfort Seating System is comprised of four separate air cushions:
• Backrest air cushion
• Lumber 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.
CLEANING
The DELUXE V2 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.
Note: A full list of approved cleaners is available on the KCare website
WARNING:
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive
cleaning products
• Do not high pressure clean the DELUXE V2.
• Do not autoclave.

04 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.
NOTE: To reset inflation level to standard setting, ensure the air cushion is first fully deflated.
The backrest wings and seat arms
should be rotated into the down
position to best gain access to the
valves. 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.

Step 2 – Inflation
04 MAINTENANCE
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 supplied 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.
To use the hand pump, first remove the
hose from the handle and screw the
hose into the end of the pump cylinder.
Remove the cap from the valve if
necessary, then screw the hose end
to the brass valve. Ensure the hose is
fitted firmly to compress the core and
allow air to flow.
Once the air cushion has been reset,
screw the cap back onto the valve,
then tuck the tube and valve securely
back into the upholstery pocket to
prevent damage.
