SETTING UP, READY FOR USE.
Note. Unlike a conventional chair, the Tomcat is NEVER moved in service. The user gets on and off using the swivel and
step (if supplied). It is not moved in and out like a conventional chair. The support assistant in co-operation with the user
should set the chair to the most desirable position in relation to the desk and ensure the chair is placed in this position with
each successive use. Once positioned the chair must be changed from castors to fixed feet BEFORE use, and not moved there-
after, for the duration of its use.
To set up:
Swivel the seat to face the ON/OFF position, i.e. aligned with the step, (if fitted)
Use the lever (beneath the seat front) to raise the chair from fixed feet to castors.
With seat still aligned with the ON/OFF position, move the chair to the desired position then lower to its fixed feet.
Swivel from ON/OFF to WORK positions, to ensure full and unrestricted swivel of seat and backrest is possible.
Check all accessories are tight and general adjustments are correct.
The chair is now ready for use.
