The chest strap
The chest strap holds the upper body in place.
Check that the chest strap is secure on the backrest (velcro fastening).
Close the catch on the chest strap and pull it to (not too tight, see photo).
To release the chest strap, simply press the red button in the center of the catch.
To slacken, hold the catch at a right angle to the strap and pull.
Once the knee support and chest strap are fitted correctly you are ready to stand up.
8. Standing
up
The two armrests on either side of the seat serve not only as armrests, but also as a part of the stand-
up mechanism.
There are four release levers. The bigger ones in the rear of the armrest are the gas spring-release
levers (marked with Symbol 1). They release the gas springs which assist you as you raise yourself
up by pushing down lightly on the side panels.
The two smaller ones more in the front of the armrest are the armrest-release levers (marked with
Symbol 2). By using these levers the armrests can be brought higher up or lowered.
8.1.
To release the springs, you should first push forward the little latch to be found on the gas
spring-release levers, then pull the release levers themselves (see photo left).
