SECTION 12:
ANNUAL PRODUCT
INSPECTION
(Therapist, Technician, Leckey Product
Specialist, Dealer)
Leckey recommend that each product should
be subject to a detailed inspection at least
once a year and every time the product
is reissued for use. This inspection should
be carried out by a technically competent
person who has been trained in the use of
the product and should include the following
checks as a minimum requirement.
1.
Check that there is no lateral movement
or wobble in any of the moving parts.
Ensure all adjustment knobs and bolts are
in place and secure.
2. Check all ratchet handles, knobs, nuts,
bolts and plastic buckles are in place,
replacing any missing items. Paying
particular attention to the following items;
•
Head support locking bolts.
•
Backrest height and angle adjustments
bolts.
•
Seat depth adjustment bolts.
•
Pelvic belt / hip guide attachments.
•
Footrest height and angle adjustment.
3. Check the high-low chassis height
adjustment mechanism is working
properly. If the chassis is foot pedal
operated ensure the seat height doesn’t
change when the pedal is released.
Also, check that the locking pin engages
securely to prevent accidental height
adjustment of the chassis.
4. Adjust the seat to its maximum range of
tilt-in-space and ensure that the locking
lever locks the seat out securely at
varying point in this range.
5. Check that where the seat and chassis
join there is no visible wear and tear on
the metal components.
6. Lift the base to check each castor
individually. Make sure they are moving
freely and remove any dirt from the
rubber wheels. Check that the brakes
lock the wheels securely.
7. Visually check the structure of the
product paying attention to weld points
on the frame ensuring there are no signs
of fatigue or cracking around the welds.
8. Leckey recommend that a written record
is maintained of all annual product
inspections.
If in any doubt to the continued safe use of
your Leckey product or if any parts should fail,
please cease using the product and contact
our Customer Care Team or your local dealer
as soon as possible.
