the clip pins click into the holes on the
seat base.

The clip pins secure the chair back frame
in position.

pins in and slide the seat back out of the
seat base.

Insert the arm rests into the sockets on
the seat base until the clip pin clicks and

By sliding the armrest lock you can easily
swing the armrest out of the way or
secure the armrest in position.

To unlock the armrest slide the armrest
lock away from the armrest.

To lock the armrest slide the armrest lock
towards the armrest.

away position.

The armrests can be easily swung-away
when required.

Unlock the armrest by sliding the armrest
lock away from the armrest. Once this is
done the armrest can be swung away. The
clip pin which secures the armrest in
position stops the armrest from rotating

- To remove the cushion, carefully remove
one lug at a time from the connectors until
all 4 locating lugs are removed.

Slide the neck rest height adjustment tube
into the neck rest attachment. Adjust to
the required height and secure in the

rest handle in a clockwise direction the
neck rest height adjustment tube
connector will tighten and secure the

NOTE

- The neck rest should always be used and
adjusted to suit the specific user.

Insert the footrest connectors into the
tubes of the seat base.

Align the threaded hole on the footrest
connectors with the hole on the side of
the seat base. Screw the foot rest knob

removed.

Lift the footrest upwards to slide the
footrest out of the footrest connector.
Then gently pull outwards to un-clip the
footrest from the footrest connector.

NOTE

- The footrests should always be used for
safety, especially when the chair is being
reclined.

Rotate the chair so that you have easy
access to the underside of the seat base.

From the back of the slide the commode
bucket into the 2 brackets on the
underside of the seat base.

Ensure the commode bucket is pushed in
far enough that the brackets securely hold
the commode bucket in position. The
commode bucket should be centred under
the opening in the cushion.

- Each height adjustment hole raises the
seat base 1”.

-

aligned at the same height.

On the underside of the seat base there
are 4 attachment points for the lap belt.
