The castors can be used to move the chair when in the standard seating 
position. The castors can be locked in position to stop the chair moving 
when in use. Note: The Lite 2 has four feet instead of castors.

The Seat Overlay comprises a standard seat foam cushion and a legrest 
cushion enclosed in a durable, 4-way stretch, vapour permeable cover. 
The seat cushion has a foam insert which can be replaced by any 
equivalent sized foam insert or air cushion.

The Hand Control can be used to change the position of the backrest 
(Comfort 1 only), legrest, tilt in space angle and can also be used to raise 
the chair to assist the user in standing or sitting. The hand control loops 
and carer control loops can be used to store the hand control when not in 
use.
