It is highly recommended that you use the chair permanently fitted with the anti-tip/step
tube device, as it will prevent the chair from tipping backwards in extreme positions.
Situations will however arise, where it may be necessary to remove or position them in an
upright state. In such cases, it is strongly recommended that an attendant is present at all
times.

Seating system
Both the seat and the backrest are built on firm steel frames, which give a very strong and
stable construction to the chair. Apart from the standard seat and backrest sizes, the
position of the seat on the seat frame can be adjusted see section 5.3.
The upholstery is moulded in cold foam. The side supports in the back as well as in the seat
compensate for different seat widths. In most cases, the side wedges in the backrest can
serve as side supports. The cold foam is designed to keep its form for many years.
Upholstery is 88% polyester and 12% polyurethane, coated with a fire resistant layer on the
inside.
