2. Product description
2.2 Handling / transport
The therapy chair is not intended for carrying people. If carrying cannot be avoided
due to obstacles being in the way, please note the advice below on "lifting the the-
rapy chair".
Please make all adjustments to create the most compact size in order to transport
the therapy chair.
2.1 Material information
All wooden parts of the SMILLA therapy chair are made of beechwood and varni-
shed. The release of formaldehyde from the varnish is covered by the requirements
according to E1. The covers are made of 100% polyester and are ame resistant
(according to DIN EN 1021-1+2).
Lifting the therapy chair
Make sure that the therapy chair is never lifted with anyone sitting on it. Make sure
that all screw connections and buttons are tightened before lifting the therapy chair.
The chair can only be lifted using the foot or seat plate holders or the main frame.
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
Indications
The SMILLA therapy chair has been designed for children and teenagers who are
unable to sit or stand independently.
Therapy chairs only make sense if longer periods spent seated in the chair is pos-
sible and therefore a seat pan is not required. Correction of incorrect postures or
growth control is not possible with a therapy chair.
Contraindications
In general, the indications for provision of a therapy chair should be approved by a
doctor or orthopaedist. It should therefore be claried prior to procurement whether
contraindications exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain represents a
contraindication.

• Ensure that the therapy chair is stored in a dry place.
• Ensure that the therapy chair is only used by one child/teenager.
• Make sure that no small parts, poisonous substances, hot objects or electrical
equipment etc. are located near the therapy chair within the reach of the child, as
this can lead to choking, poisoning or other injuries.
• For reasons of re safety, the therapy chair may not be placed close to an open
re or any other strong source of heat such as electric or gas heaters.
• The therapy chair is not suitable in case of scoliosis.
• Correct usage of the therapy chair requires precise and careful training of the
accompanying person.
• The therapy chair is not suitable for outdoor use.
• The max. load (see Point 6) may not be exceeded.
• All screw connections must be retightened two to three weeks after delivery of
the therapy chair. Afterwards these should be checked regularly e.g. every two
months, and tightened if necessary.
• Please remember that the child can easily use their feet to push off a table with
a solid frame, and tip over backwards with the therapy chair.
• Do not leave the child unattended in the therapy chair.
• Ensure that all straps are properly fastened.
• Do not let the child play around the therapy chair when it is not in the intended
position for use.
• Always place the therapy chair on an even and solid surface.

Plastic gliders
Plastic gliders are attached at the back under the base feet to prevent SMILLA from
tipping over when pushed back. These help SMILLA to slide gently and remain in
an upright position when being pushed back. The therapy chair should be placed
on a surface it can slide on to ensure that the gliders can work as intended. The
gliders and surface must be kept clean.
2.5 Equipment for basic model
• Sturdy wooden frame with integrated aluminium proles
• Incl. height adjustable backrest and adjustable back angle
• Incl. seat and back pad
• Incl. height adjustable armrests
• Incl. seat and foot plate adjustable in height, angle and depth
• Incl. push rollers
Covers
The seat and back pads of the SMILLA therapy chair are covered with a wear-
resistant and breathable fabric in the basic version. This can be removed from the
pad using the zip to clean or wash it in the washing machine (max. 30 °). Please do
not dry the cover in a dryer and do not use aggressive cleaning agents or similar
products.
Push rollers
The therapy chair is provided with push rollers
that make it easier to position the seating aid.
The push rollers should not be mistaken for cas-
tors (see Point 4.5). Tilt them lightly forwards to
position SMILLA correctly (e.g. to push the child
to/under a table). The push rollers can be found
in the front area under the base feet. Now you

tion.

ple who have been given the necessary instructions by a medical product advisor.
Please ensure that none of the user's extremities are in the respective area when
making adjustments of any kind to minimise the risk of injury.
The SMILLA therapy chair can be adjusted to the size of the child. The upper and
lower arms as well as the thighs and calves should be at least able to form a right
angle if possible. The feet should be placed fully on the foot plate and the arms
should be able to rest loosely on the armrests.
When adjusting the therapy chair there is a risk of trapping or
crushing limbs. After each adjustment, please retighten all screw
connections!

The right height of the seat plate should be ad-
justed to the size of the child and the respective
table height/situation. Once you have adjusted
the seat plate, position the armrests so that the
child's lower arms can rest comfortably on them.
The foot plate is at the right height when the soles
of the feet can rest on it and the thighs rest on the
seat plate.
Loosen the hexagon socket screws (A) to adjust
the armrest height and bring the armrests into the
required position. Then retighten the hexagon so-
cket screws.
