/ nursery school and for initial assistance. Individually adjustable seat di-
mensions 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 operator‘s or user‘s extre-
mities are in the respective area when making adjustments to avoid 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.
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
3.2 Seat angle
The release handle (A) for the seat
angle adjustment is mounted on the
push handle. To adjust the seat angle,
simply activate the release handle (A).

3.4 Back inclination
The back can be adjusted to the correct ang-
le after loosening the star knob (C) on the
right-hand side of the seat unit.
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.
3.5 Back height
Loosen the screws (A) at the back of the the-
rapy chair and bring the back to the required
height.
3.6 Back with integrated upper arm guide
The back with integrated upper arm guide is
equipped in the standard series with a pad,
cover and small padded wedges (approx.
3 cm). Using the padded wedges, the lower
torso area can be moulded for best possib-
le positioning of the torso. In order to change
the moulded shape, take the pad o the back
and open the zip on the rear side. Now bring
the padded wedges into the required position, close the zip and replace the
pad on the back.

4.5 Dysplasia seat
The dysplasia seat permits the me-

thighs. In order to adjust the leg guides,
loosen the cylinder head screws with
a hexagonal wrench (A) on the under-
side of the seat plate. In this way, the
clutch-plate clamp and the inside and
outside leg guides can be adjusted in

mounted on the upper clamping pla-
te from 0° to 30° per side. Move the leg
guide into the required position. The
clutch-plate clamp resistance permits

also in released condition. Then tighten
the screws again.
4.6 Inside leg guide
To adjust the leg guides, loosen the
cylinder head screws with a hexago-
nal wrench (C) on the underside of the
seat plate. This loosens the clutchplate
clamp so that the inside leg guide can
be adjusted in angle. In order to adjust
both legs to the same angle, an
angle scale is mounted on the upper
clamping plate from 0° to 30° per side.
Move the leg guide into the required position. The clutch-plate clamp re-
sistance permits a visual inspection of the adjustment, also in released con-
dition. Then tighten the screws again.
After each adjustment, please retighten all screw connections!
