the backrest independently of the leg rest and tilt position (this
remains stationary). This independent movement opens up the angle
between the backrest and the seat, providing additional positions for
comfort, support and pressure management.
Simply pull the lever towards you and hold in. This will release the
backrest in order for it to recline. Pull the push handle towards you to
enable you to recline the backrest to the desired recline position.
Ensure that you carry out this recline action slowly so as not to cause
discomfort to the chair user. Once you have reached the desired
recline position release the lever and the back will lock at this angle.
Repeat to return to the original position or another one. This reclining
back angle action can be used at any time to open up the back angle.
Independent Leg Rest Movement
The leg rest can be adjusted independently of the backrest by using the
finger pull lever on the side of the chair. Pull the lever outwards
and keep out for the movement to take place. This will enable the leg
rest to move up or down by putting and keeping pressure on the leg
rest until the desired position is reached. It will allow for a range of
positions for the users comfort
.
Once the desired position is reached
simply release the lever and the leg rest locks into place.
Always
ensure
that the user’s legs are kept safe from any sudden pressure or
movements during any alterations.
