7.0 Safety Information

1.

 Always read instructions fully before use. 

2.

 Users should not be left unattended at any time 

whilst using Leckey equipment. 

3.

 Only use Leckey approved components with 

your product. Never modify the product in any 
way. Failure to follow instructions may put the user 
or carer at risk and will invalidate the warranty on 
the product. 

4.

 If in any doubt to the continued safe use of 

your product or if any parts should fail, please 
cease using the product and contact our customer 
services department or local dealer as soon as 
possible. 

5.

 Carry out all positional adjustments and ensure 

that they are securely fastened before you put the 
user into this product. 

6.

 To attach some accessories may require the 

use of a tool which is provided with the relevant 
accessory. Keep all tools out of the reach of 
children.

7.

 When the product is stationary ensure that all 

castors are locked and facing away from the base 
as this will improve product stability. 

8.

 Never leave the product on a sloping surface, 

greater than 5 degrees.  

9.

 The product contains components which could 

present a choking hazard to small children. Always 
check that locking knobs and bolts within the 
child’s reach are tightened and secure at all times. 

10.

 Leckey products comply with fire safety 

regulations in accordance with EN12182. However 
the product contains wooden and plastic 
components and therefore should be kept away 
from all direct sources of heat including naked 
flames, cigarettes, electric and gas heaters.

 

11.

 Do not place hot items greater than 40 degrees 

Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) on the tray. 
Maximum load on a Size 1 & Size 2 Tray is 5kg; on a 
Size 3 it is 8kgs.

12.

 Clean the product regularly. Do not use 

abrasive cleaners. Carry out maintenance checks 
on a regular basis to ensure your product is in 
good working condition. 

13.

 The product is designed for indoor use and 

when not in use should be stored in a dry place 
that is not subjected to extremes of temperature. 
The safe operating/storage temperature range of 
the product is +5 to +40 degrees Celsius (41 to 104 
degrees Fahrenheit). 

14.

 If a footplate is used, self transfer into the seat 

is only recommended when the footplate is at its 
lowest setting, i.e. at floor level. If a footplate is 
used in any other setting we recommend a risk 
assessment is carried out (and reviewed as the 
child grows) and a carer holds the back of the seat 
while the child transfers in and out of the seat. 
For additional stability the anti-rocker skis can be 
attached to the legs.

15.

 If rocker skis are used, there is potential for the 

child to trap their foot under the skis or footplate 
(if attached) during self transfer. We recommend a 
risk assessment is carried out (and reviewed as the 
child grows) and a carer holds the back of the seat 
while the child transfers in and out of the seat.

16.

 If the seat is used on hard, slippy surfaces the 

seat may need to be stabilised by a carer while the 
child transfers in and out of the seat.
