Remove the
upholstered foam divider
that protects the seat
cushion; return it to the travel case for storage.
11.
The
armrests
are part of the
seat
assembly
.
Remove the
through-pins, securing the
armrests
in their folded position. Once
the
armrests
are lowered, the through-pins may be inserted into,
and through, the
armrests
and backrest supports, locking them in
place. This will prevent the armrests from being raised. It is
recommended that the
armrest
on the opposite side of the chair
from where the occupant will be transferred, be lowered, and
locked, into position prior to performing the transfer.
12.
Using the spring pin buttons and adjustment holes in the
telescoping legs, adjust the height of the
rolling
frame
so that the
occupant may safely and
comfortably
transfer to the “Go-
Anywhere” Chair™
.
This may involve some trial and error. Ensure
that the frame will fit over the commode as well, if necessary.
Make sure that each telescoping leg is secure with a spring pin
button protruding through one of the adjustment holes.
The front legs may be extended to be longer than the rear,
resulting in additional rear lean. The camber built into the legs
provides added stability. (If you choose to add rear lean, be sure
to test the chair BEFORE USE to ensure that it will not tip over
backwards.)
Individuals having limited upper body strength and/or
balance will find themselves more comfortable with the additional
rear lean
.
