4.3 Thoracic support
The thoracic support is mounted by inserting the hook (1 in
Diagram 37) in the thoracic support fastening (2) on the rear of
the back and tightening with the knob (3) in the desired position.
The cover is removable and mounted with Velcro; washing
instructions are on the labels.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
See separate installation instructions.
- Note that the use of the thoracic support requires thorough testing to
ensure users receive good support and that the thoracic support does
not cause pressure that can lead to injury.
- Avoid placing the thoracic support near the user’s armpit since the area
is generally considered to be intimate and pressure sensitive.
4.4 Table
The table is intended to be used to put smaller things on and in
some cases to position the user by working as a support for the
lower arms.
Installation is carried out by inserting the two pins (1, Diagram
39) on the table top into the table bracket (2) on the outside of
the armrests.
The table brackets can be easily adjusted for depth by sliding
them along the rail under the arm pad. Loosen the screws under-
neath, slide the bracket along the track and tighten the screws in
the desired position.
Keep in mind that armrests should be placed at the same height
and depth if the table is to sit well!
A version with lock is available. Push the button and hold to lock
and unlock the mechanism, see diagram 40.
- When using a table there is a risk of pinching when the back is lifted
up from a reclined position.
- The table is not intended for heavy loads. Maximum load is 7kg.
- Restrictions might exist regarding the use of tables if this restrain the
user from getting out of the wheelchair. Especially when using the
version with lock.
- Do not sit on the table!
