Castor operation
:
1.
The castors can be locjed so that the wheel cannot move forwards or reverse nor will
the castor fork swivel. To lock the castor press down on the locking tab with a foot (as
shown).
2.
To release press the other side of the locking tab with a foot. Unless the chair is fitted
with 24’’ wheels, it is recommended that the castors are always locked when the chair
is stationary.
➢
Castor adjustment
:
The height of the chair and seat can be altered by adjusting the cstor height. To adjust the castor height,
remove the ‘E’ clip or nut and bolt (arrowed). Reposition the castor stem to the required position and
reattach the ‘E’ clip or nut and bolt. Repeat fot the 3 castors ensuring they are all set at the same height.
Note
: If the chair is fitted with the 24’’ rear wheels, the axle bracket height should also be altered so
thatthe rear castors are nearly touching the ground when the 24’’ wheels are fitted. Models will be
supplied with either ‘E’ clips or a nut and bolt to secure the castor. ‘E’ clips do not require any tools for
height adjustment, whereas the nut and bolt solution requires a spanner and allen key.

The potty is installed and removed by sliding the potty in to the two rails mounted to the
underneath of the seat. To install, slide the potty underneath the seat from the rear of the
chair, ensuring the potty sits on both rails of the seat. Ensure nobody is sat on the chair
when installing or removing the potty to prevent any tapping risk.
Cover the potty with lid to reduce the risk of spillages and carefully dispose of the potty

after each use.
