TherAdaptBolster Chair (BC-100/200/300) Instructions
Packing List:
(1) Basic chair with vinyl padded seat, base, and rectangular, slotted tray support
(1) 1” wide pelvic strap with (1) side release buckle and (2) double slotted rings
(1) Tray with (2) quick release spring loaded lock pins and (4) 1 ½” ¼ -20 carriage bolts
(2) Foot straps of “loop” fastener
(6) 1 ¾” ¼ -20 hex head bolts
(10) Thru-knobs with ¼ -20 threaded inserts
(10) Nylon washers
The basic Bolster Chair comes pre-assembled (except tray) but it should be adjusted properly to
the individual user to provide a customized fit.
1. Adjust the seat height.
Remove the (4) knobs and bolts on the base. Adjust the
seat to the appropriate height and re-install the bolts
through the appropriate paired holes. Replace the knobs
with a nylon washer between the knob and the wood.
Tighten securely.
Note: when using the optional footplate attach it to the base
first, and then adjust the seat height for a proper fit.
2. Adjust the pelvic positioning belt. The 1” pelvic belt
with side release buckle should be positioned in the notch
created by the bend of the lap between the thigh and the
pelvis, and tightened snugly. Note: The double slotted
rings on each side of the pelvic strap have the loose ends
threaded back through. This prevents the strap from
slipping, makes the belt completely adjustable, and allows
the belt to snap closed at any location.
3. Secure the feet / lower leg with straps
Place the loop strap in a figure “8” around the
Lower leg and secure on the hook along the
base of the chair.
