easier and safer for both the care givers and the chair user.

tension on the push button

side of the chair

with your thumb
-Let the armrest “pop up”
-Swing the side panel away or remove completely
(figure 3.1)
Note:
Chairs with Mag Wheels will not allow for the Side
Panels to swing away, however they are removable

receptacle

Height Adjustable Armrests
The armrest height can easily be adjusted in order to
accommodate various residents. The arms are
adjustable in 5/8” increments and have a height range
of approximately 5.5”
How to adjust armrest height
- Lift up the flap on the outside of the side panel
exposing the armrest height adjustment pins
(figure 3.3)
- Squeeze the 2 pins together. DO NOT place
fingers at the top of the pins as this could cause
pinching. Place fingers in the concave shape of the
pins.
