NOTE
: For the manual version of the Configura
Advance chair, refer to section 10.
The electric version of the Configura Advance chair
has the following controls:
1.
Manual Backrest
–
The backrest can be adjusted
between 90 degrees and 130 degrees from the
seat angle. The backrest lever (Fig 24, Item 1) is
used to adjust this angle. The backrest is also fitted
with a lockout slide (Fig 24, Item 4.) that can be
used to restrict the use of the backrest angle
adjustment.
2.
Electric Tilt-in-Space
–
The tilt-in-space position can
adjust the seat angle from 7 degrees to 37 degrees
from the horizontal position. The buttons marked 3
and 4 on Figure 28 are used to adjust this angle.
3.
Electric Forward Tilt
–
The chair can tilt forwards
from 7 degrees normal tilt to 10 degrees of forward
tilt using the buttons marked 3, 4 and 5 on Figure
28.
4.
Electric Leg rest
–
The leg rest can be adjusted
between 75 degrees and 160 degrees. The buttons
marked 1 and 2 on Figure 28 are used to adjust this
angle
.
The handset is used to change the position of the leg
rest and operate the tilt in space function. Always
check for obstructions before operation. Before the
patient uses the handset, the controls must be
explained by a suitably qualified person.
Manual Backrest Adjustment
1.
Make sure the brakes on all 3 locking castors are
locked on.
2.
Locate the locking lever (Fig 29, Item 2) on the side
of the backrest lockout slide (Fig 29, Item 1).
3.
Release the backrest lockout slide by lifting the
locking lever away from the backrest lockout slide.
The backrest can now be adjusted using the
backrest lever.
4.
Pull the locking catch on the backrest lever, then
pull the main lever (Fig 24, Item 1). Move the
backrest to the desired measurement. The
backrest angle measurement can be read off the
scale at the top of the backrest adjustment slide
(Fig 29, Item 3).
WARNING
Check for obstructions around, above and
below the chair frame and position the chair
so that it can operate through the full
adjustment range without any possibility of
obstruction or entrapment.
Always engage the castor brakes when the
chair is stationery or left unattended.
Patients should only be allowed to operate
the chair independently if they are able to
understand the safety instructions in this
manual and have been risk assessed as able
to use the handset.
Always store the handset in a safe place
when not in use to avoid risk of strangulation
and entrapment in the chair mechanism.
Make sure the castor brakes are in the locked
position before using the handset to change
the positions of the chair.
Be aware of entrapment risks through opening
and closing gaps as the chair is adjusted.
Keep children and pets away from the chair
unless supervised by an adult.
Ensure the patient is in a stable sitting position
while any of the following adjustments are
made.
Do not move chair when in the forward tilt
position.
