05 1. Preparation.
1.1 Delivery
On receiving the product, please check it for completeness, lack of faults
and any transport damage. Inspect the goods in the presence of your
forwarder. Should transport damage have occurred, please arrange for
an inventory (determination of the faults) to be made in the presence of
the forwarder. Please send a complaint in writing to the specialist dealer
responsible.
1.2 Safety measures prior to use
The correct use of the product requires detailed and thorough instruction
of the user or the accompanying person. We ask you to read through the
Instructions for use carefully prior to initial commissioning of the product,
and to observe them. It is possible that product parts that get in contact
with the skin may heat up in the sun. Depending on the duration and in-
tensity of solar radiation, the surfaces of individual parts can heat up to
over 41°C and thus lead to slight burns in the event of direct skin contact.
Therefore cover these areas or protect the device from direct sunlight.
1.3 Safe disposal
In order to preserve and protect the environment, to prevent environmental
pollution and to improve the recycling of raw materials, please note the
disposal instructions in points 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
1.3.1 Packaging
The packaging of the product should be kept for any future transport that
might be required. Should you have to return the product for repairs or in
case of a guarantee claim, please if possible use the original box so that
the product is optimally packaged. Otherwise, separate the packaging
materials for recycling according to their classification.
Do not leave packaging materials unattended, as they are a possible source of
danger.
1.3.2 Product
At the end of the product life cycle, recycle the raw materials used in the
product according to their nature (see material information under point 2.1).
1.4 Where to store the Instructions for use
Please store these Instructions for use carefully and ensure that these
Instructions for use remain with the product in case of re-use. Should you

09 3. Settings.
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. All adjustments can be made with standard tools (e.g. Allen key,
screwdriver or spanner).
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 adjust-
ment of the height. The foot pedal can
be secured against inadvertent ope-
ration with the spring pin (B) (located
on the inside of the foot pedal). To do
this, turn the spring pin until it enga-
ges. If necessary, assist engagement
by moving the foot pedal gently. The
locking eect is cancelled by pul-
ling out the spring pin and turning it
a quarter turn. Alternatively, the seat
height can be adjusted using the hy-
draulic height adjustment. In order to
bring the therapy chair up, pump the
pedal (C) until the chair reaches the
required height. In order to lower the
therapy chair, place 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 (between the
oor and the footrest of the therapy chair) in order to avoid injuries

In case of problems with the control unit, please contact a specialist dealer
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 gua-
rantee 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 horizon-
tally until it engages. The seat unit can now
be adjusted in an active or passive position.
It is optionally possible to mount the relea-
se 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.

4.2 Conversion kit for combination sub-frame
When converting madita-fun. to a
combination sub-frame, the plastic
castors are replaced with 6“ pneu-
matic wheels with steering forks and
12 ½“ pneumatic drum braked wheels.
The drum brakes work independent
of air pressure. They are integrated
into the wheel hubs and cannot
be accessed. They provide the com-
panion to the user the possibility of as-
sisting with the braking action (in par-
ticular when driving down hills) and of
locking the sub-frame. This is conduc-
ted through the two brake levers (D)
which are mounted onto the push
handle. The drum brakes are set by turning the setting screws in or out.
They are located at the lower end of the brake cables in the brake saddle.
Leave this work to your specialist dealer in case of any uncertainty.
Handling the wheels on the combination sub-frame
The following general rules apply:
High air pressure: Low rolling resistance / less suspension comfort
Low air pressure: Higher rolling resistance / more suspension comfort
