1.0 Unpacking Instructions
1.1 The Select Locomotion is supplied in a custom-made packing box.
1.2 Carefully remove the Select Locomotion from the packing box.
1.3 Retain the packing box if possible.
1.4 The Select Locomotion is in two parts.

2.0 Assembly instructions
Refer to Fig F2.1
2.1 Place the Base on the ground.
2.2 Rotate the Clamping Knob (K) anti-clockwise until its rotation starts to become stiff.
2.3 Offer the Mast to the socket in the Base as shown in Fig F2.1, ensuring that it is correctly orientated.
Note there is a keyway on the bottom of the Mast and at the entry into the base that prevents the Mast
from being assembled in the wrong orientation.
2.4 Lower the Mast into the Base socket as far as it will go. The hole (H) will now be inside the Base.
2.5 Rotate the Clamping Knob clockwise until rotation starts to become stiff.
2.6 Rotate the Clamping Knob anti-clockwise a half turn.
2.7 The Mast will now not be clamped allowing it a small movement in the Base.
2.8 In this position the Clamping member (that cannot be seen) attached to the Clamping Knob will be
located inside the Hole (H).
2.9 In this position the Mast is not clamped in position and is free to make small movements, but it cannot
be lifted out of the Base. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE.
2.10 Check that the Mast cannot be lifted out of the Base.
2.11 Rotate the Clamping Knob clockwise until it is tight.
2.12 The Locomotion is now fully assembled.
2.13 The Locomotion can be disassembled simply by rotating the Clamping knob anti-clockwise and lifting
the Mast out of the Base.
2.14 An oval shaped hole in the client side of the Base provides a handhold to assist in carrying it.

4.0 Instructions for use
4.1 NB ALL CLIENT MOVING AND HANDLING TASKS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED CLIENT MOVING AND HANDLING TECHNIQUES AND AFTER A
FULL ASSESSMENT OF THE CLIENT, THE TASK AND THE ENVIRONMENT* IN WHICH THE
TASK IS TO BE CARRIED OUT.
4.2 The Locomotion has been designed to allow one or two carers to transfer a client from one seated
position tothe Locomotion, move the Locomotion to another location across a firm flat floor and then
transfer the client to another seated position.
4.2.1 *Moving the Locomotion on a soft floor surface may produce a tipping hazard. As part of
the environment the floor must be assessed as compatible and safe before use .
4.3 Before a transfer is started carers must satisfy themselves by an appropriate assessment that the
client is able to bear weight independently.
4.4 Before every use of the Locomotion ensure that both the Mast and Shin Pad are secure, the Brakes
are operational and that the equipment is in no way damaged.
4.5 Before using your Locomotion adjust the height, rotation and lateral position of the Shin Pads to suit
the client as described in above.
4.6 The Locomotion can now be manoeuvred and brought to a position in front of the client.
4.7 Put the brake on.
4.8 Assist the client to the front of their chair, ready to stand and place the client’s feet on the non-slip foot
plate. The Locomotion should now have the client’s feet on the non-slip foot plate and shins firmly
against the shin pad.
4.9 Encourage the client to use the handle to pull themselves into a standing position. Note, as the client
stands the Locomotion may tilt slightly towards the client as the Anti-Tip Pads engage with the ground,
this is normal operation**. The carer should position themselves at the side of the client ready to assist if
required. Once the client is in a stable standing position, release the Brake and move the Locomotion to
the required location.
4.9.1 **As described below (4.14.1), if desired this small ‘tilt’ can be eliminated by the carer counterbalancing
the Locomotion.
4.10 When at the new location put the Brake on.
4.11 Reverse the above procedure to seat the client.
4.12 Release the Brake and move the Locomotion away from the client.
4.13 The Locomotion is not intended for outdoor use or for transporting clients over long distances.
4.14 If the client is unable to stand with a natural standing pattern but has still been assessed as a safe user of
the Locomotion it may be necessary for a carer to counterbalance the Locomotion…
4.14.1…by placing their foot on the brake pedal and holding the hand rail as the client stands or sits.
