Potential Risks, Cautions &
Warnings
•
The user is at risk if the Florien Fife is
not properly specified and adjusted to
their particular requirements.
•
Never
leave anyone with poor postural
sitting ability in a fully upright position
as they may tip forwards and out of
the chair
•
It is recommended that the tilt-in-
space is changed at regular intervals
to reduce the risk of pressure sores.
•
Never
allow the legrest to be used as
a seat, nor allow the chair to be
pushed along by it. This will cause
damage to the legrest mechanism.
•
Do
not
stand on the footboard as this
may cause the chair to become
unstable and tip forwards.
•
Always
remove the footboard (if
applicable) and lower the legrest
before returning the chair to its fully
upright position, to allow the user to
stand up from the chair with ease
without damaging the footboard (if
applicable) on the floor as the chair
tilts forward.
•
Do not
try to push down the legrest
without utilising the appropriate lever
underneath the legrest as this may
damage the mechanism.
•
Do not
try moving the chair without
first ensuring that all wheels are
unlocked.
•
Do not
sit on the arms as this can
cause damage to the covering and
could make the stability of the chair
unsafe.
•
Users should be
regularly
checked
and supervised when in the chair to
mitigate the user moving or sliding into
an inappropriate position.
•
Care should be taken when adjusting
the chair not to trap fingers or clothing
in the framework.
