UPLIFT Seat Assist User manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The unique, patented design of the Uplift Seat Assist has
safety at its core. While Uplift is made to be as safe as
possible, there are some precautions you need to take:
Make sure you have something to hold on to when
getting up. Uplift Seat Assist is designed for use on
chairs with arms that offer a suitably stable seating
surface. Uplift is not recommended for use in
wheelchairs, automobiles, reclining chairs or office
chairs with non-lockable wheels.
Always make sure that the chair your Uplift
Seat Assist is used on will not slide along the floor.
When in doubt, place the chair with its back
against a wall or other fixed object.
When bending over to pick something up, do
not put any weight on your feet – otherwise the
Uplift will start to lift you.

PLEASE NOTE: If, after setting your
Uplift to the proper weight setting, the
cushion does not go down when you sit
on it, the lifting mechanism may be stiff
from prolonged inactivity. In this case,
simply set the weight setting at the
lowest level, and sit on the cushion a
few times until you feel it moving freely
again.Then reset for your weight.

ADJUSTING WEIGHT SETTINGS
Stand Uplift on the end opposite
the handle.
Push down on the upholstered part
of the cushion, causing it to flex
outward.
This allows the lifting mechanism to
swing freely. (The Uplift cushion is
designed to flex this way thousands
of times. Flexing will not damage
the product.)
Select a weight setting. Center the
lifting mechanism pin between the
two grooves for user’s appropriate
weight. Make sure it is fitted
securely in the center of the weight
slots. (The printed numbers on the
setting gauge are only a guideline.
The setting you choose should be
according to the user’s ability and
preference. Choosing a weaker
setting will still allow a gentle
lowering into the chair but will not
provide as much force on rising.)
CLOSING FOR
TRANSPORT
1. Using the method for adjusting
the weight settings, allow the
lifting mechanism to swing
below the bottom setting.
2. Close the Uplift cushion and
wrap the Velcro strip around the
Velcro pad located on the
carrying handle.

Select a weight setting suited to the
user and center lifting mechanism
between the appropriate slots.
Push down, flexing the upholstered
part of the seat.

PLACEMENT IN THE CHAIR
Generally, the Uplift Seat Assist should overhang
the front of the chair as shown. On chairs which
are very deep, it is permissible to position the
cushion further back. When using the Uplift, keep
both hands on the arms of the chair (or other
suitable support).
Note: The Uplift Seat Assist should overhang as
shown when used on a hard chair.
GETTING UP WITH UPLIFT
When you are ready to stand, simply start to get up like you
normally would, by leaning slightly forward and pushing off with
your arms and legs.
Uplift will sense you are getting up and give
you a slow and gentle lift up.
SITTING DOWN WITH UPLIFT
After adjusting the weight settings and placing the Uplift on your
chair, sit down on the flat part at the top of the cushion. The Uplift
will ease you slowly and gently into your chair.
Note: If the cushion does not go down when you sit on it, re-adjust the
weight setting to a lower weight.
The cover on your Uplift Seat Assist is made of a
washable, waterproof fabric and can be removed and
machine washed in cool water (hang to dry).
The surface of the Uplift cushion is coated with a
special water resistant coating. This may be sponge
cleaned with mild soap or detergent.
Note: Never totally immerse your Uplift
Seat Assist in water.
To put on the cover after cleaning:
Adjust the weight setting on your Uplift
Seat Assist and place it on a table with the
open end facing away from you.
Place the end of the
cover with the tag
over the back or top
of the cushion and
pull it down and
under the front edge.
Note: The back or top end of the cover is made wider
than the front to ensure proper fit. It is best to leave
all or part of the tag on your cover so that it is easy
to identify this back/top end in the future.
