EMEMBER
Check all fasteners periodically to see if they are tight.
Use 12mm wide (1.5mm thick) blade screwdrivers with
care when tightening the low profile screws as not to dam-
age the screwdriver slot.
For some situations it may be necessary to apply Locktite
(type of glue) to any of the connecting screws to prevent
loosening.
If a wheelchair with this head support is used as a seat during
transportation a risk assessment should be carried out..
Check that the covers are washed at 40°C or less and not
tumble dried.
Check that the head support can be removed and replaced
easily from its mounting brackets (and they don’t protrude
at the back of the wheelchair pushhandles).
Check that this Guide is issued to and understood by the user
and/or carers.
