The  swing  away  table  tray  is 

retractable  to  the  side,  if  you  don’t 

need it. 
 

The  skirt  guard  should  prevent  that 

the  clothing  is  hanging  beside  the 
seat  and  is  getting  into  the  drive 

wheels or the standing mechanism. 
The  skirt  guard  is  easily  displaceable 

for  lateral  transfers.  Just  untighten 
the stop lever (A), now you can easily 

lift the skirt guard upwards to remove 

it. 
 

Leads the thigh and stabilizes the leg 

axle in seating and standing position. 

Can  be  adapted  individually  in  place, 
distance, angle and height. 

To  change  the  position,  open  the 
zipper  at  the  outside  of  the  pad  and 

untighten the screws lightly, now you 
can  adjust  the  pad  to  the  necessary 

position, 

tighten 

the 

screws 

afterwards.
