10.4 Sitting and laying while lifting
&
Should the patient be lifted by the lift mechanism,
then all four castor brakes must first be engaged
(Section 10.5, Schematic 1). The safety belt must
be fastened while the patient is sitting and laying
in order to improve the safety. Be sure that the
clamping lever for the inclination setting is locked
before the lifting begins.
Danger of tipping over!
•
The inclination must not be extended when the
chair is completely elevated as there is a danger
of tipping over.
•
The patient must not be purposely left
unattended in the elevated or inclined position.
•
For safety reasons it is not permissible to drive
the chair in the raised position with the patient
on it.
•
Make sure that the chair is in the lower position
before you release the brakes.
10.5 Using the castor locking brakes
Press the lever of the castor brake downward
with your foot (1). The wheel is now braked and the
castor locked against swiveling.
The wheel and castor are released by pressing
the lever upwards with your foot (2).
10.6 Removing the seat upholstery
The seat with (I) and without (O) hygiene opening,
the leg pad (K) and the backrest upholstery (H) can
be removed from their mountings in the chair frame
for cleaning purposes or for replacing (see
description on page 2).
10.7 Folding away the footrests
Flip the foot plates upwards and then lift the
footrests from the locking mechanism. The footrests
may now be folded back.
10.8 Swiveling away the armrests
By pulling out the latching pins (A) the locking
effect is disengaged and the armrests may be
swiveled back. Whenever swiveling the armrests
back, check to be sure that they are fully and
properly latched in the mounting mechanism of
the backrest (B) and that the latching pins (A) are
engaged. Swiveling the armrests is done with both
hands. Keep the locking pins (A) pulled out during
the entire swivel action, and move the armrest at
point C with the other hand. While doing so, touch
only the outside surfaces and do not grab into the
armrest or through it.
Check the latching mechanism on a
regular basis because possible caking
up of calcium deposits at the latching
area can adversely effect its function
and its ability to move properly.
