- NOTE: The standing operation described above represents the optimum; it may take some
practice to achieve. To begin, it may be necessary to reposition the hands on the lever in
the process of standing. It is important that when ordering the chair, the appropriately
charged gas struts for the client’s body weight have been chosen.
- Once fully standing, the levers can now be “locked out”. To do so, simply place your hands
on the top of the levers and continue to rotate forward and down. You will feel the Arm
Loop Lever lock in position.
-
To return to the seated position
, reach toward the front (what is actually the top) of the
lever, grasp it, pull up and then back as it rotates. Continue until the chair once again
achieves the fully seated position.
- NOTE: It may be necessary to reposition the hands one or more times in order to ultimately
achieve the fully seating position.
- Once fully seated, the levers can now be “locked out” in the lower position. To do so,
simply place your hands on the top of the levers and press down. You will feel the Arm
Loop Lever lock in position.
- Engage the Safety Locks as described in 2.2.2.4..
CAUTION: In order to prevent the involuntary actuation of the standing mechanism, always
remember to place the right and left safety locks (Fig. 11) in the locked position (slid to the rear of
the chair).
