A competent person, or User, trained
in the use of the chair, who is either a
suitably qualified medical professional,
or is working under their guidance and
instruction, should make adjustments
and set up the product according to the
Patient requirements and dimensions
before the Patient sits in the chair. Where
possible, adjustments should be made
when the Patient is not in the chair to
avoid injury to the User and Patient.
This product, and its accessories, should

condition etc). If there are any problems,
these must be reported to your Seating
