Chair set up
The chair will be set up at the date of delivery. Below we have
detailed the key functionality which will allow you to adjust the chair
to provide additional comfort and posture control for the user.
The Melrose comes with 4 heavy duty castors. The two rear castors are
lockable.
ALWAYS LOCK THE CASTORS
when the chair is stationary or
for making changes to the chair set up.
THIS WILL AVOID
any
movements that could cause possible personal injury.
Push Handle Lever and Controls
Always use the push handle to move the chair around
. The image below
highlights the lever that operates the tilt in space (1
–
left hand side
lever) and the independent recline (2
–
right hand side lever). It also
shows the rubber grip handles for portering purposes (3).
To change the seat cushion
slip your hand down the back of the seat
cushion and pull. This will release the seat cover from the Velcro.
Pressure Care Management
The Melrose has many pressure management and posture positive features. The
use of these features will depend on the requirements of the user. Please ensure
that you understand the features and how they can be used.
We always recommend that those setting up or operating the Melrose are trained
on the use of the chair and in pressure management and postural care.
