Only raise the chair when you are sure that the person’s feet, arms, hands or other
body parts are not at risk of being struck or run over by the action of the chair!
THE REAR LEGS
The rear legs are fitted horizontally and lie just above the
floor along the shoulder (as in the illustration). Should
this not be the case, be careful to fit both rear legs in
parallel.
Be aware of the positioning of the shoulders and make
sure that the arms are crossed upon the chest, due to
the fact that the rear legs move down towards the floor
as soon as the up button is pressed. This may put the
person’s shoulders and arms at risk of injury if not
positioned correctly.
If the legs are mounted in a higher position, pay attention
to the rotating legs moving towards the floor. Make sure
no body parts or clothes are at risk of being struck of the
rotating legs.
THE FRONT LEGS
Ensure that the person’s legs are together and their
feet/legs are not at risk of getting in under a front leg
when the chair is raised, as the front legs move toward
the floor before the chair begins to lift its user.
