IMPROPER USES

• 

Manipulating the chair without proper training.

• 

Moving the chair without using the directional wheel.

• 

Using it for a patient without professional assignment.

• 

Making adjustments without supervision or prior training.

• 

Leaving an at-risk patient in an unsafe area or without supervision.

• 

Sit on the leg rest when the user is in the chair.

• 

Performing resuscitation maneuvers.

• 

Exceeding the recommended weight limit.

CLEANING

Follow the selected covering manufacturer’s recommendations 

for cleaning. Check with your supplier that the products you use 

are compatible.

The chair should not be pressure-washed or placed inside a washing 

machine. These practices may cause the chair components to rust 

internally, as well as deteriorate the adjustment components, thus 

voiding the LPA chair warranty.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure maximum use of the chair, it must be kept clean and the parts 

properly adjusted. Vinyl surfaces must be cleaned with products recom-

mended by the manufacturer. The outer metal parts of the chair should 

be cleaned as needed, using the same solution as for the surfaces.
As long as the recommendations for use and cleaning are followed, the 

Harmony chair does not require preventive maintenance. Some parts will 

need to be replaced for normal wear and tear over years of use.
