UI SmartSeat seat height supplemental iss02, 07/2014

Adjusting seat height takes approximately 
15 minutes. The chair can be adjusted 
one side at a time but both sides must be 
adjusted to the same height before the 
chair is used.

Begin the process by tilting the chair 
forward into its upright position. Do not 
adjust tilt again as this will cause the gas 
action or motor to over extend, which will 
make re-fitting exceptionally difficult. 

Locate the Tilt-in-Space (TiS) interface 
bracket on the back cross bar of the castor 
frame. The bracket is held in place with two 
bolts.

Use a 5mm allen key and a 13mm spanner 
to undo the  two bolts holding the interface 
bracket in place and carefully lower the Tilt 
action to rest on the floor. Put the bolts and 
nuts in a safe place ready for re-fitting at 
the end of the height adjustment process.

Remove both of the chair arms as per the 
main SmartSeat user instructions.

Undo the zip holding the two halves of 
the crumb catcher between the seat and 
legrest.

Remove the seat cushion by un-clipping 
the J-strip on the underside front edge of 
the seat cushion and on the flap at the back 
of the seat cushion.

Disconnect the TiS interface bracket first.

Undo the crumb catcher zip and remove the seat 
cushion.

Unclip the J-strip  on the small cover panel to the 
front top edge.
