KIDSTAND III MSS

A note from the President:
Prime Engineering’s lead in standing frame technology was
developed from my personal need for a standing device.
With no suitable product on the market to really answer the
needs of proper positioning while standing, the necessity for
safety, comfort and proper standing inspired us to build our
first standing frame… mine! It quickly became clear many
others could benefit from a quality standing frame. We
created Prime Engineering to serve the client needing
standing assistance.

Be sure to take the time to fully acquaint yourself with all the
features of your Kidstand III MSS before standing. Your
body was designed to stand so make sure you stand daily
for your health!

This owner’s manual is organized into:

We’ve designed the Kidstand III MSS for easy assembly. If,

please don’t hesitate to contact your supplier or contact us at

CAUTION:

Consult your Physician or Therapist before using the Kidstand III or any other standing device. DO NOT use the Kidstand III
before becoming thoroughly familiar with all the safety warnings and instructions. Consult a Physician or Therapist to
determine the proper adjustments for your Kidstand III. Take the time and do it right.

pull the Pull-to-Place straps out along both sides of the
legs toward the front of the chair. (Figure 25A)

Figure 25B

3. Make sure that the sling is centered with the two
attachment rings in an equal position in the clients lap.
(Figure 25B)

8. Hook the metal seat sling rings into one of the three
notches on the lift arms making sure that there is no
slack in the straps and that the straps are of equal length
on both sides. (Figure 28) Note: The correct notch

placement allows for sling straps to be parallel to the

Figure 28

floor while in the standing position.

Note:

Be certain to use the same notch in both
lift arms. Each side of the Seat Sling
strap needs to be of equal length to
insure a straight, even lift and proper
standing position.

9. Begin to pump yourself up. You are in control of the
speed and height of raising yourself by operating the
handle on the hydraulic pump assembly. (Figure 29)

10. Once you are in a fully upright position, your chest and/or
abdomen should be in firm and comfortable contact with
the chest pad. (Figure 30)

voiding the warranty. ALWAYS pump the Lift Arms up to raise
them.
