Elevating Legrest & Back Angle
Adjustment the
The Encora Electric enables the carer or
the user, where appropriate, to adjust the
Tilt-in-Space facility and/or the elevating
legrest and/or the back angle adjustment by
the simple touch of a button on an easy to
use handset.
Seat Height Adjustment
The seat height of the chair can be either
raised or lowered according to the needs of
the user.
At the back of the chair is a retractable
handle that facilitates the chair movement.
To raise the chair:
•
Turn the handle clockwise.
To lower the chair:
•
Turn the handle anticlockwise.
Legrest Length Adjustment
When the legrest is elevated it is possible to
extend the legrest further to offer calf
support to those with longer legs.
Locate the silver spring adjuster at the end
of the legrest on the right hand side, pull the
spring out and lift up the third legrest
cushion until it is level with the other two
cushions. Release the silver spring so that
it locks into the hole and check that the
legrest is secure.
Always make sure the third roll is retracted
before lowering the legrest.
Advanced Comfort Backrest
The Encora’s Advanced Comfort Backrest
incorporating the highly acclaimed
Reflexion™ foam is able to mould itself to
the contours of the user to help disperse
body weight more evenly over a greater
surface area contributing to the comfort and
support of the user.
Essential to the design of the sculpted
backrest are the built in lateral and lumbar
supports.The integral flexible headrest
provides further positioning support and
comfort for the user.

Seat Length Adjustment
To ensure that the correct seat length is
achieved for each user a clearance of
25mm or one inch between the front of
the seat cushion and the calf is desirable
when the user is firmly against the back
of the seat.
•
To
adjust
, locate at the rear of the
seat module at the back of the chair
frame a silver-spring adjuster. Lifting
the spring will enable the seat module
to be moved forwards or backwards
according to the user’s needs.
•
The seat module may be stiff to adjust
but by moving to the front of the chair
and positioning one hand at the back
of the seat module and the other at the
front the correct seat length should be
achieved.
•
Check that the silver-spring adjuster is
securely in place and the seat module
is not movable.
•
Sit the user in the chair and check the
dimensions.
