2.1 Material information
The base frame and the individual elements are made of steel and alumini-
um which are non-corroding and powder-coated. The covers are made of
100% polyester and are flame resistant (according to DIN EN 1021-1+2).
2.2 Handling / transport
The therapy chair is not designed to be carried, as it is fitted with castors.
Should you have to carry the equipment due to obstacles, ensure that all
moving parts are tightened. Then position yourself next to the therapy chair,
grip it at the front and rear under the seat unit and carry it to the required
location. To transport the therapy chair, reduce all adjustments to their most
compact size (fold up foot support, set lowest seat height etc.)
Tighten all moving parts prior to carrying!
The child may not be located in the therapy chair whilst it is being
transported!
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
The madita-fun. therapy chair has been designed for children and teen-
agers who are unable to sit or stand independently, but whose limited torso
posture does not continuously require sitting in a seat pan. The madita-fun.
is a flexible-use therapy chair which grows with the child for use at home,
in nursery school and at school, and can be used for all age classes from
toddler to teenager. Individually adjustable seat dimensions and supporting
pelotte pads allow a stable and upright sitting position.

Settings and adjustments to the product or accessories may only be made
by people 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.
3.1 Seat height
The seat height is adjusted using a
gas pressure spring. In order to ad-
just the seat height upwards, the foot
pedal (A) on the base frame is actua-
ted. By pressing it lightly, the seat unit
slides upwards. Lowering is achieved
through pressure from above onto the
seat whilst at the same time operating
the foot pedal. The gas pressure spring
serves merely to assist with adjustment
of the height. The foot pedal can be
secured against inadvertent operation
with the spring pin (B) (located on the
inside of the foot pedal). To do this, turn
the spring pin until it engages. If neces-
sary, assist engagement by moving the
foot pedal gently. The locking eect is
cancelled by pulling out the spring pin
and turning it a quarter turn.
Alternatively, the seat height can be
adjusted using the hydraulic height
adjustment. In order to bring the the-
rapy chair up, pump the pedal (C) until
the chair reaches the required height.
In order to lower the therapy chair, pla-
ce a foot under the pedal (C) and press
it upwards.
Ensure that, during setting / adjustment of the seat height, no body parts
(feet) are trapped in the area of the setting / adjustment mechanism (bet-
ween the oor and the footrest of the therapy chair) in order to avoid in-
juries

Electrical height adjustment is also possib-
le. This is operated with the existing remote
operation (A). Press the arrow key downwards
in order to adjust the seat height downwards
and upwards in order to adjust the seat height
upwards.
In case of problems with the control unit, please contact a specialist dea-
ler so that the product can be returned to the factory if required. As soon
as the housing is opened, the Linak sticker (B) is damaged, whereupon the
2-year guarantee automatically expires.
3.2 Seat angle
The lever for the seat angle adjustment is
equipped with a child lock. In order to adjust
the angle of the seat unit, the hand trigger (C)
at the rear below the seat pan holder must be
actuated by pushing it together horizontally
until it engages. The seat unit can now be ad-
justed in an active or passive position. It is op-
tionally possible to mount the release handle
(D) for the seat angle adjustment on the push
bar / handle. To adjust the seat angle, simply
activate the release handle (D).
3.3 Seat depth
To adjust the seat depth, loosen the two wing
screws (E) under the seat unit. Then the seat
surface can be moved continuously forwards
or backwards.
After each adjustment, please retighten all
screw connections!
3.4 Back inclination
Der Rücken lässt sich nach Lösen des
Klemmhebels (F) auf der rechten Seite der
Sitzeinheit im Winkel verstellen.
Ensure that, during setting / adjustment of
the back inclination, no body parts are trap-
ped in the area of the setting / adjustment
mechanism in order to avoid injuries.
