01 - General
This user manual gives an overview of the
Krabat Jockey Lite with manual elevation
of the sitting unit. Krabat Jockey Lite
comes in three different sizes. Many
configurations are possible with different
accessories.
Krabat Jockey Lite is an active chair for children
between the age 2 –16 years of age (3 sizes).
The chair is height adjustable and can be
adjusted from floor level to the height of a
kitchen worktop. The sitting position can be
adapted to the individual child. Seat tilt and
backrest height positions can be set infinitely.
An occupational therapist or a physiotherapist
should determine the use of this chair.
The excellent sitting position provided by the
Krabat Jockey Lite is due to both the saddle
seat, which promotes a neutral position in the
pelvis and abduction in the hips. The footrests
supports the feet in an optimal position.
The chair promotes good stability in the lower
body and gives the spinal column natural
curves. This provides a good base for balance
and activity in the trunk and upper body. The
saddle seat enhances an active sitting position
rather than a slumped and passive position.
The upright and active position will also benefit
speech, swallowing and respiration.
To ensure an optimal sitting position it is
important to try out and adjust the chair before
use. Do not use the chair unless an individual
trial has been carried out. Furthermore, do not
let other children use the chair without an
individual trial.
As children grow they change their movement
and sitting pattern on a regular basis. It is likely
that the child will need another size of the
sitting unit or other adjustments. Contact your
local physiotherapist or occupational therapist
if the product is not optimal or if adjustments
are needed.

03.0 - Use
To obtain the optimal sitting position the angles of the seat, backrest and
footrest need to be adjusted. This should be done by a therapist who has
received training from Krabat AS, or a representative for Krabat AS.
All angles can be adjusted infinitely. The individual footrests can be adjusted by loosening the 4 screws
shown in fig. 05. The footrest-in-one can be adjusted using two screws shown in fig. 06. The sitting unit
can be adjusted using the turnbuckle shown in fig. 07. The angleof the backrest can be fixed in different
positions using the locking lever shown in fig. 08.
The use of the chair should be discussed with your therapist or someone who knows the child well. It
is important to establish in which situations the child should use the chair, how long they should use
it and when to progress the time spell. This needs to be evaluated continuously as the child gets
familiar with the chair.

such incidents, one must avoid this, and never leave the child in the chair without
supervision.
