Chair Location 

It is essential that you locate the chair correctly. 

 

Position the chair in your chosen location, ensuring that the chair has 

enough space to recline fully and freely. There should be no objects 

behind the chair that will obstruct the chair movement and it should 

never touch the wall when it reclines.  

 

The leg rest should be able to move fully and freely with no objects to 

restrict this movement.   

 

The footplate/s should be able to move fully and freely with no objects 

to restrict the movement. 

 

Any such obstructions will cause damage to the chair and its 

mechanism and will invalidate your warranty.   

 

 
 

 

 

Seat Depth Adjustment 

 

 

 

 

This movement provides for a range of additional seat depth options.  

TO 

ADJUST

: Lift the leg rest following the Independent Leg Rest instructions 

on 

page 8.

  Then from the front of the seat look underneath and you will see 

two locking hand wheels on the base of the chair which are attached to a 

sliding plate. To adjust the seat depth simply release the hand wheels by 

turning them anti-clockwise (this will release the pressure of the pins on the 

sliding plate) and slide the seat to the desired position. Once positioned 

ENSURE THAT YOU TIGHTLY SCREW THE HAND WHEELS 

. (turn 

clockwise) This will lock the seat in position, stopping any movement and 

also any damage to the chair or injury to the user.

  

PLEASE CHECK THE LOCKING WHEELS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THEY ARE 

TIGHTLY LOCKED. 

 

Seat Width Adjustment  

Your chair will come with one of our standard set of interchangeable arm 

pads to allow the seat width to be adjusted.     You may choose to purchase 

an additional set of arm pads which allow the seat width to be adjusted 

further.  Simply pull the arm pads from the arm frame and reverse to change
