8.2 Getting up
Before getting up, be sure the chair is stable and
secured against slipping away (see 8.9) and tipping
over, that the armrests are locked in position, and
the footrests are folded away to the side or folded up.
The patient should then move his body forward
until his feet are flat on the floor.
8.3 Swivelling the Armrests Outward
By pulling out the locking pin, the locking mechanism
is disengaged and the armrests may be swivelled back.
When swivelling the armrests up, check to be sure that
the armrests are properly seated in the locking position
of the backrest and locked by the locking pin.
Check the locking mechanism on a
regular basis for impaired function arising
from calcium deposits, which can impair
movement.

The footrests are height-adjustable in stages. To do this,
unscrew the screws of the footrests on the side using an
SW6 Allen key.
Select the appropriate height and tighten the screws of
the footrest. Be sure the screw is securely tightened.

Swivel the footplates upward and lift the footrests.
The footrests can now be swivelled back to the side.

them outwards 90°. Now you can lift the footrests up
and remove them.

limitations, then a caregiver must assist them. If
necessary a patient lift or stand may be used.
To prevent the patient from falling out of the chair, be

The patient must then place both hands on the
armrests and slowly lift themself up.
The patient must not lean too far forwards to avoid
falling. The patient should have the caregiver assist
them when getting up.
The patient must not stand on the footrests when
getting up or leaving the chair.
