Check parts

Congratulations on purchasing your
Mygo Max System. All of the parts will be
contained in polythene bags with each one
clearly labelled. Carefully remove them from
the boxes and check all the parts you have
ordered.

Keep polythene bags away from
children.

Some of the accessories will need to be
assembled before you attach the seat to the
base you have purchased.

Multi-tool

A number of adjustments will require the use
of the multi-tool, which is supplied with each
seat and can be found in the back pocket of
the seat.

Open up the angle of the leg supports by
unscrewing the knobs (A), shown, and set to
the maximum width. Open the socket caps
(B) and slide in the calf supports. Set to the
desired position, with the footplates facing
forward and retighten the socket cap bolts
with the multi-tool.

Always make sure the foot plate is
attached firmly.

7.1 Setting the
footrests

Adjust the height of the chassis to its
maximum to reduce risk of back strain while
attaching the seat unit. Refer to Section 11
on how to adjust the height of the chassis
you have purchased.

First release the safety locking pin at the
front of the seat. To do this pull the pin out
and rotate through 90 degrees. Carefully lift
the seat and place it into the chassis. At the
rear of the underside of the seat you will see
a receiving channel. Place this securely over
the tube towards the back of the chassis.

receiving tubes as shown. Secure the handle
in place by tightening the locking knobs (a).

Check these regularly to make sure the
knobs are tight, particularly if you are
moving the product unit along corridors
that may have uneven or sloping
surfaces.

Once the front of the seat is lowered fully,
release the handle and push it forward to
ensure it has fully engaged on the front tube.
Rotate the safety locking pin so it engages in
front of the handle. If it hits the handle then
the seat is not inserted properly. Remove
and repeat process outlined above.

Always check the handle and locking
pin are fully engaged before you place
the child in the seating system. If the
handle is not engaged properly the seat
unit can come loose and could cause
serious injury to the child or carer.

To attach the head support slide the stem
into the receiving bracket. Set to the desired
position and secure using the hand lever (a).

While holding the components together,
