Potential Risks, Cautions  
& Warnings 
 

 

The user is at risk if the Fitform is not 
specified and adjusted to their 
particular requirements. 

 

Prior to using the Fitform’s adjustment 
options it is essential to ensure that 
nothing will impede movement or 
interfere with the mechanism.  In 
particular, please ensure that children 
and pets are clear of the movement 
range to avoid accidental injury. 

 

Ensure wheel brakes are on, where 
applicable, before using the Fitform. 

 

Take care not to over stretch the hand 
control cable or allow it to drag on the 
floor that could result in the wheels, 
where applicable, running over it 
causing the cable to be cut. 

 

Take care to avoid fluids being spilt 
onto your chair or the handset.  This 
could damage the upholstery or 
electronics and motors in the chair. 

 

Position the Fitform so there is no 
danger of tripping over the power 
cable. 

 

Always move the chair unoccupied 
and unplugged from the mains socket. 

 

Excessive drop loading onto the seat 
could cause undue stress on the 
joints and potentially split the seams 
of the upholstery.  

 

Do not 

try moving the chair without 

first ensuring that all wheels are 
unlocked. 

 

Do not 

sit on the arms as this can 

cause damage to the swivel 
properties, where applicable and 
could damage the armrests. 

 

Keep all cleaning agents out of reach 
of children. 

 

Occasionally electrical products 
are subject to electrical power 
surges therefore we recommend 
purchasing a power surge 
protector. These can be purchased 
from most major hardware or 
electrical suppliers.
