7. Accessories
7.1. Split Lateral Support
The Duo 2 can be fitted with two lateral supports that operate independently to provide postural support.
To attach or detach the lateral supports:
• Loosen the triangular handle and insert into the horizontal tube at the back of the Duo 2.
• The supports can be moved horizontally across the bar to widen or narrow the support, or vertically to suit the user.
• To adjust the back height, use the spring-loaded snaps located on the metal back frame. When
retracted and turned 90° the snaps will remain in the unlocked position, this will allow the back
height to be adjusted. Slide the upper part of the back up or down until the height required is
achieved and allow both pins to snap back into the required hole.
• Ensure both “snaps” are located correctly before use.
• If the back height is increased, always check that there is enough cushioning when the back angle is reclined. If there is not enough
cushioning, an extra waterfall cushion should be fixed to the zip on the backboard cover.
Extra waterfall cushions can be obtained from Direct Healthcare Group. Please contact your Direct Healthcare Group representative,
distributor or our Customer Service Team on
Freephone 0800 043 0881.
• To move vertically, pull the spring-loaded snaps on each split lateral support at the rear of the chair.
Then rise or lower for adjusting the hight of the split lateral support.
• Raise or lower the split lateral support to the required setting and secure.
• To move horizontally, loosen the triangular handle and adjust to preference. When appropriate positioning has been found tighten the
triangular handles to provide stable and secure support.
7.2. Pommel
A pommel can be fitted to the Duo 2 to provide the user with additional postural support and pelvic positioner. The pommel simply slides
on and off from the front of the seat module.
To attach or detach the pommel:
• Firmly take hold of the pommel upholstery and metal work. Pull the pommel until it slides out of the
seat module.
• To fix the pommel in place, take the metal bar of the pommel and align with the fixing point at the
front of the seat module in the centre. Push the pommel into place.
7.3. Leg Laterals
Leg Laterals are one complete unit that slides onto the legrest assembly.
The footrest must be removed before fixing the leg laterals to the legrest assembly. (Refer to 6.13 for instruction).
To fit the Leg Laterals to the legrest frame:
• Locate the snaps on the Leg Lateral unit and pull these out. Align the unit with the legrest assembly and slide the Leg Lateral unit up the
legrest to the desired position.
