Unwin EasiSit, User Instructions

Page: 6 / 12

1. If EasiSit is set as a seat, lift the armrest(s), if fitted,
into an upright position and fold the seat cushion (A).
2. Position the wheelchair at a convenient distance in
front and away from the EasiSit, pull out each
karabiner and attach to mainframe of the
wheelchair. (Some manufacturers may indicate
attachment points on the wheelchair frame for the
karabiners.)
3. Move the wheelchair up to the EasiSit. Stand behind
EasiSit and guide the wheelchair up to and against
the telescopic stand-off bar (B), adjusting it for width/
height if required. Height adjustment is achieved by
releasing the two thumb screws and repositioning
them along with the stand-off bar to the next row of
holes. (Standard height indicated by yellow arrows).
The standard position will generally be found to be
the most suitable for the majority of wheelchairs.
4. Once the wheelchair is hard up against the stand-off
bar, depress the foot pedal (C) fully until you hear a
loud click as it locks in. Apply the wheelchair brakes.
5. Test that the wheelchair is secure by leaning on and then lifting its handles. Neither the front
castors nor the rear wheels should be able to lift off the ground. If the wheelchair is felt not
to be secure enough, it may be necessary to release the foot pedal and repeat step 4.

and the seat, tighten the screws right up and
place the cover (Fig 2 & 3)
