4.5 Removable Wings
Wings support the shoulder bolsters which provide upper body
lateral support to the resident.
To Remove the Wings
-Using your thumb, depress the top button found beside the
wing on the chair back
(figure 2.6)
-While depressing the button, pull the top of the wing frame
from the receptacle. The wing may now be moved out of the
way without its full removal.
(figure 2.7)
-To completely remove the wing, depress the button on the
lower portion of the wing frame and remove from the
receptacle
To Replace the Wing Frame
- Insert the lower end of the wing into the lower receptacle
first. Then insert the upper end into the upper receptacle
4.6 Shoulder Bolsters
The Shoulder Bolsters provide upper torso support, protection
and containment. Individually adjustable, they accommodate
asymmetries in the chair user. Their unique design allows for
proper elbow access to the arm rest. The Shoulder Bolster is
always used in conjunction with the side wing.
To Attach the Shoulder Bolsters
The Shoulder Bolster attaches to the wing by two straps with
snap buckles.
-Feed both Shoulder Bolster straps between the inner strap of
the wing and the frame of the chair.
-The upper strap is pulled around the outside of the wing frame
and the lower strap is fed between the outside strap of the wing
and the frame of the wing.
(figure 2.8)
-Snap the buckles together and cinch the strap to secure the
bolster to the wing. The bolster can be slid up and down the
wing if desired.
(figure 2.9)
-To lock the bolster in place, feed the upper strap around the
frame of the chair back. The bolster can no longer be vertically
adjusted. The top strap must be unbuckled to remove the wing
from the chair.
Note:
The Shoulder Bolster can be inverted on the wing in order to provide support to the lower torso and to those
with a narrow upper torso. Place the bolster upside down on the wing frame and attach as described above.
