It is recommended that users over 44 lb be hoisted/lifted into the P Pod.
Manually lifting the user is not recommended.
Follow the hoist/lift manufacturer’s instructions.
All P Pods are equipped with a Flip-over Headrest and a Padded Pelvic Belt.
Before placing the user in the P Pod, make sure both the Headrest and Pelvic
Belt are not buried underneath the Positioning Pod as it will be difficult to retrieve
them once the user is seated in the seat.
1. Adjust the P Pod so that it is in a
reclined position (Fig. 3A) prior to
placing the user into the Pod.
2. Hook both sides of the Pelvic Belt
into the side loops on the seat
cover (Fig 4).
3. Lower the user into the P Pod.
Make sure that the hips / pelvis of
the user are positioned as far back
as possible into the Positioning
Pod.
4. Secure the Pelvic Belt around the
user (Fig 5) and adjust the strap
length as necessary.
Note: it may be necessary to
remove the Positioning Pod from
the Bean Bag Base to adjust the
length of the belt straps from the
rear if the straps are too long in the front.
5.
Adjustments to the position of the Positioning Pod on the Bean Bag can be
done by simply holding the pod and move it into different position.
Note: When using the hoist or lift, make sure that you follow the device
manufacturing’s instructions regarding the proper use.
