a) Correct position: Sit centrally with arms on the chair.
b) Incorrect position: This will place excessive strain on the mechanism plus the
body is unstable.
c) Using the chair to stand.
• Press the UP/RISE button and the chair will raise. Remember to keep in the
central position in the chair.
• When you have reached a position which is easy for you to stand or get out of
the chair, release the button.
• Press the DOWN/LOWER position to lower the chair back to its conventional
position.
• Store the control in the pouch provided.
If you are not using the chair, it should not be left in the UP or RECLINED position.
When the chair is in the sitting position it can of course be used as a normal piece of
furniture.
Warning! Before operating the controls ensure that children and pets will not be
trapped and that the chair is not obstructed in any way. Do not attempt to get out of
the chair with the footrest in the raised position – the mechanism may be damaged
by putting too great a weight on it.
6. HAZARD AREAS
Warning! When the chair and footrest are raised, keep the indicated areas clear
of pets, children, bags or any obstruction (see images above). Always ensure that
cables or tubes are not trapped in any part of the moving mechanism. When posi-
tioning supporting medical devices, make sure they cannot be damaged by the move-
ment of the chair, or displaced in such a way to result in damage to cables or tubes.
5. SAFE SEATING POSITION
The chair is a lifting device and it is important that you are positioned correctly in the
chair when rising and lowering. If the correct body position is not maintained there is
a risk of injury or damage to the chair. The central position should be used either in
the standing or sitting mode.
