Upholstery
The tension of the upholstery can be adjusted individually with the hook and loop straps (Fig. 6).
General Handling
If the ROBBY is dry, the easiest way to adjust the support is to butt one section up against your chest while holding
it with your hands on the ratcheting-lock joints(Fig. 7). You can facilitate the whole procedure with the upper half of
your body.
The setting position shown in Fig. 8 is awkward and requires too much force and is therefore not recommended.
Setting and Adjustment Options
Adjust the bathing support using the procedure described above. Both sitting positions (Fig. 9) and lying positions
(Fig. 10). are set in the same way.
Headrest Adjustment
To help prevent soap from getting in the child’s eyes release the ratchet-lock joint D and move the headrest backwards
(Fig. 11).
Another option is to remove the upholstery from the headrest. In this situation the child’s head is completely unsuppor-
ted and, in case of poor head control, should be supported by hand of the attendant (Fig. 12).
To minimize excessive neck musculature tension, the headrest can also be adjusted forwards in conjunction with an
increase in hip flexion,
Setting and Adjustment Options
Length Adjustment of the Back:
To change the length of the back section, loosen the bolts on either side of the back section with a hex cap socket
wrench (Fig. 13).
Then loosen the hook and loop straps of both overlapping parts of the upholstery fabric in the pelvic section of the
backrest (Fig. 14).
Next pull the headrest upwards and simultaneously hold the seat with the other hand.
When the required position is reached, tighten both bolts again. Make sure that each bolt has been screwed back
into the hole it was removed them. (Fig. 15).
Now pull both parts of upholstery fabric tightly again one upon another and connect them with the hook and loop
straps (Fig. 16).
Length Adjustment of the Seat:
To change the seat length, loosen the bolts on either side of the seat with a hex cap socket wrench (Fig. 17).
Then loosen the hook and loop straps on both overlapping pelvic sections of upholstery(Fig. 18).
Because the required upholstery in this case comes from the back section, it may be necessary to loosen the lowest
tensioning strap.
Pull the foot section so as to set the required length and fix the new setting position with both screws.
Now pull both parts of upholstery fabric again tightly one over the other and connect them with the hook and loop
closures. If necessary, connect the loosened tension strap on the backside side again.
Accessories
Headrest
The headrest (Fig.22) consists of two foam pads with upholstery, which are located on either side of the head (Fig.
23).
Once you’ve determined the correct headrest height, you can fix it in place with the upholstery length strap (Fig.
24).
To set the correct width of the headrest pads, lift the outside end of the pad to be adjusted and move the pad into the
required position (Fig. 25). Subsequently fix the pad by pressing it on the guide belt hook and loop fastener. Repeat
this procedure with the other pad.
