ASSEMBLY
1. First remove all contents from the box.
2. To open the chair, push seat rails and press downwards until the chair
is fully opened taking care to keep fingers clear of moving parts
(Fig.1).
3. To close the chair, take the centre of the seat fabric at the front and
back edges and lift (Fig.2).

NB: When opening and closing your chair please keep fingers well away
from any possible entrapment areas.
The only part of the chair that can be adjusted are the leg rests. Ideally your
knees should be at 90 degrees with the seat. If you are not sure please
contact a healthcare professional or your local chair dealer for advice.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The brakes may need to be adjusted periodically. We would advise that this is
done by competent person.
For normal adjustment see Fig. 5, ‘Nut A’ needs to be unscrewed and the
sleeve moved either upwards or downwards as required to adjust the brakes.

CORRECT USAGE
WARNING: The centre of balance is affected by a change in posture
body position or weight distribution.
Many activities require the chair owner to reach, bend and transfer into and
out of the chair. These movements will cause a change to normal balance,
centre of gravity and weight distribution of the chair.
The design of your chair enables it to remain stable for normal everyday
usage if used correctly in accordance with the recommendations in this
manual.
1. Reaching/bending forward
Move the chair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach.
Position the front castors so that they are extended as far forward as
possible. Fully engage the wheel locks on the rear wheels. Only reach
out to take what is within arm’s length in normal sitting position. Only
the arms should extend beyond the seat of the chair. Do not attempt
Assembly and Operating Instructions Ver. 3 01/2014 (2284)
6
to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
2. Reaching/bending backwards
Move the chair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach.
Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without changing your
seating position. Do not lean over the top of the back upholstery as
this could change your centre of gravity and may cause you to tip
over.
3. Reaching/leaning sideways
Move the chair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach.
Rotate the front castors to a line in the direction you will be reaching.
Fully engage the wheel locks on the rear wheels. Do not shift your
weight or sitting position towards the object you are reaching as it may
cause the chair to tip over.
4. Transferring
Before attempting to transfer in and out of the chair, every precaution
should be taken to ensure the gap between the two seats is as small
as possible. The chair should be on a smooth, stable and level area.
Be sure to fully engage the wheel brakes when transferring in and out
of the chair or when in an elevator or chair lift. Turn both castors in the
direction of the seat to which you wish to move. Lift up the footplates
and fold back the supports to the side. Do not stand on the footplates.
It is imperative that the actual transfer procedure be supervised by a
certified health care professional until the chair owner is familiar with
the procedure.
Negotiating Obstacles
5.1 Forwards
The chair should be tilted by the helper until the front castors have
passed over the kerbs. Move the chair forward until the rear wheels
touch the kerb and gently lower the front castors over the pavement.
Push the lift until the rear wheels have mounted the kerb. The chair
should not be lifted by the handles alone. Do not attempt to ride over
kerbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your chair to tip over and
cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.
5.2 Backwards
The chair should be positioned so that the rear wheels are against the
kerb. The helper should then tilt the chair backwards and then pull the
chair until the rear wheels mount the kerb. The front castors should
Assembly and Operating Instructions Ver. 3 01/2014 (2284)
7
only be lowered to the ground when the chair has been pulled
sufficiently away from the kerb.
Warnings
1. Do not sit or transfer into the chair unless it is fully open.
2. Do not use on an escalator.
3. Do not attempt to stop a moving chair using the parking
brakes.
4. Always wear the seatbelt when using the chair.
5. Do not attempt to lift the chair by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a
chair may result in injury to the user or cause damage to the
chair.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The following diagram shows details of the chair terminology used in
this manual.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION ctd.
1. Backrest
The adjustable backrest can be folded down by means of a locking
mechanism fitted to both sides of the lower part of the backrest pillars.
Assembly and Operating Instructions Ver. 3 01/2014 (2284)
8
To fold the backrest down, push on both of the black plastic levers,
then pull back and down on the top part of the backrest. To return to
the original, reverse the procedure, making sure the mechanisms are
locked securely.
2. Handles
The handles are designed for the helper to propel the chair. They
must not be used solely for lifting the chair over obstructions or kerbs
(see negotiating obstacles)
3. Armrest
PVC pads are fixed onto the armrest for comfort and can be replaced
as spare parts.
4. Seat Upholstery
Periodically check the upholstery for signs of tears or sagging.
Replace immediately if the seat is damaged. Remember: the seat
upholstery is the primary weight supporting material.
5. Footplates
The footplates are intended as a foot support only when you are sitting
in the chair. On no account should you stand on the footplates. The
heel loops or calf straps (if fitted) can be used to secure the position of
the feet. The footplate assemblies can be adjusted in height by
loosening the nut of the base of the adjustment tube, positioning the
plate at the required height and tightening the nut to secure the
assembly. The footplate supports can be swung away to the outside of
the chair. To carry out this procedure, pull the release lever towards
the front and swing the support to the outside of the chair. If the
support is to be removed, lift it upwards. To re-fit and return to the
original position, reverse the above procedure.
6. Castor and bearing
The front and rear wheels are solid puncture proof tyres. These should
be checked at regular intervals to monitor any wear. Chairs become
difficult to steer and propel when surfaces have worn flat. It is
recommended that both front tyres are replaced at the same time to
avoid one side of the chair from being higher than the other.
The wheel is secured to the castor fork by an axle bolt and axle nut.
Periodically, this bolt and nut should be checked and tightened if
necessary to allow a snug but free spinning fit. The castor fork swivel
on the front wheels allow the chair to be steered in either left or right
direction. An adjustment locknut is located under the castor cap. If the
locknut is too tight, the chair will be difficult to steer.
7. Wheel lock assembly
Assembly and Operating Instructions Ver. 3 01/2014 (2284)
9
These are used to hold the chair in a stationary position, and are fitted
on either side of the chair on the back wheels. They should not be
used when the chair is moving or to slow it down. They should always
be applied together.
To operate, pull the brake lever back towards the back of the chair.
This will immobilize the chair. To release the brake, move the lever
forwards the front of the chair.
8. Cross Bar
Operation of the cross brace permits the chair to be opened and
closed easily. It should be inspected at regular intervals for signs of
wear and bending.
ROUTINE CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
1. Upholstery
Upholstery should be routinely cleaned with a mild soap and water
solution. Never use paint remover or thinners on upholstery.
2. Metal Parts
Clean all metal parts with a wax compound such as car wash to
maintain finish. Do not use any obtrusive cleanser that will scratch the
finish on the chair.
3. Cross Brace
Periodically lubricate the centre bolt on the cross brace with light
machine oil.
4. Tyres and Wheels
Examine tyres regularly for wear and replace as necessary. Solid
tyres should be replaced when they become loose on the rim or
cracks appear which expose the mounting wire groove. Check that the
wheels run freely.
5. Castors
Check periodically that the bolt and nut securing the wheel to the
castor fork is tight and allows a snug but free spinning fit. If wheels are
loose or wobble then consult service personnel.
6. Brakes
Regularly check for effective operation and there is no wear or signs
of play.
7. General
Always check before use that the chair folds and unfolds correctly and
that movement both backwards and forwards is in a straight line.
8. Servicing
Assembly and Operating Instructions Ver. 3 01/2014 (2284)
10
We recommend your chair is fully serviced every twelve months. For
parts information please contact Aidapt Bathrooms Limited (details on
the back page).
9. Recycling of your Chair
Once the chair has reached its expected service life you can contact
Aidapt for disposal.
