Supine Mode
•
The unit is locked into supine mode as soon as
the controller is set in that position.
•
The hip and knee pivot points are locked at the
determined angle and will not articulate further
until Supine mode is disengaged. The user can be
elevated to a more upright position or descended
to more reclined position while the unit is in supine
mode.
•
If the unit is locked in supine mode, you must only
elevate the unit to the point where footplate
bracket comes perpendicular to the floor. DO NOT CONTINUE TO ELEVATE THE
UNIT PAST THIS POINT. Forcing the unit to elevate past its stopping point could
result in a damage and injury.
•
When in supine mode, if the limit is reached where the foot bracket is perpendicular to the floor, but the user
wishes to continue to a straighter standing position you must change the controller to sit to stand mode. This will
allow the user to continue toward upright standing without damaging the unit.
Caution:
The locking mechanisms used in the supine option have very high holding power. By familiarity of the
feel of the hydraulic pump or the sound of the electric actuator under load in the Pow’r Up option, depending on
how the unit is equipped, the operator may be easily aware of the mechanical limits being reached with the supine
option. If too great a load is placed on these mechanical locks, damage may result in either the locks or in the
frame of the stander. Your warranty does not cover damage from misuse of the product. Damage to the unit may
result if you attempt to exceed these mechanical limits.
Sit-to-Stand Mode
•
The unit is locked into sit to stand mode when the
foot bracket is locked to the base frame.
•
Please note that even though the controller is set
to sit to stand mode, the foot plate bracket must
be brought perpendicular to the floor and locked
into place. If the bracket is not already in position
this can be accomplished by:
- Pushing the back all the way forward
to the end of its range (approximately
90 upright).
- Pushing the footplate bracket all the way
down and backward toward the base to the end of its range.
•
Listen for a clicking sound to indicate that the unit is locked into sit to stand mode.
•
If you can move the back support, or foot supports forward or backward, the unit is not yet locked in sit to
stand mode.
•
The sit to stand mode allows the user to move between sitting and standing positions. The hip and knee pivot
points articulate while maintaining constant angles for the back and foot support bracket.
Neutral Mode
•
The controller should only be set in the neutral
position when changing between the sit to stand
and supine positioning modes.
•
Do not leave the controller in neutral position with
a person in the Bantam. The unit is not providing
the user any support when in neutral mode.
•
The neutral position allows the foot bracket
supports, and the back support to move freely at
the hip and knee pivot points.
Designed with ease of use and the safety and comfort of the user in mind, the Controller (as shown) is the single
point of operation for the supine option. The Controller has 3 positions: Neutral, Sit-to-Stand, and Supine. There is
a spring loaded safety collar (red colored) which prevents inadvertent switching between modes. It must be lifted
upward into the shift knob before the mode can be changed.
