Cushions
1. Replacement and Adjustment
Ensure that all cushions are operating as intended and are not
damaged or missing components. Replace if necessary.
Head and Body Cushion Adjustment
Ensure that the levers for the head cushion are
functioning to allow for height, depth and angle
adjustment. Ensure that the cushions are secure
and undamaged and that the spacers are present
on the back frame where the cushion rests.
Footrest Adjustment
The footrest is comprised of two pieces, one of
which lays on the other unless the footrest is
extended. The lower cushion may be replaced if
damaged.
Head and Body Cushion Replacement
Both the head and body cushions are affixed to the
frame with screws. From the rear of the cushion,
untighten the screws to remove.
Footrest Replacement
In order to replace a damaged footrest cushion, you
must first pry loose the black plastic top plate with
a flat edge screwdriver. Set the top plate aside to
be re-used and remove the five black fasteners.
Once the black top plate is removed, you will
have access to the screws securing the cushion.
Remove five screws surrounding the perimeter of
the cushion, followed by the three screws securing
the footrest to the bottom plate. Once all screws
are removed, the footrest is released and can be
replaced.
2. Securing hardware and components
Ensure that spacers are present and undamaged on the front
cushion. Check all screws to ensure that they are holding the
cushions firmly in place. If the screws rotate when tested, they must
be replaced. Take extra care not to strip and screws.
3. Visual check
Visually check the cushions for tears or damage. Clean or replace as
necessary.
PTS System
1. Transfer Bar
If the chair is equipped with a Patient Transfer System, the system
must be checked.
Crank Handle
Check the crank handle for any damage and
confirm functionality. The handle should turn
freely.
Lubrication Points
Lubricate the crank handle joints with an FDA
approved grease. Lubricate the “O” ring (located in
the plastic piece at the end of the transfer bar that
rests in the bracket).
2. Securing hardware and components
Ensure that all screws are present and secure in the transfer bar.
Locking Button
The transfer bar features a silver locking button
that must be checked to ensure it is secure and
operating correctly. The lock button ensures that
the transfer bar remains in the correct length when
adjusted.
3. Visual check
Visually check the transfer bar for damage or loose screws. Check
the transfer bar straps and the transfer sheets to ensure that
they are not frayed or damaged in any way. Do not use if any
components are damaged or missing.
