The snaps are located behind the legrest framework. Reach around the legrest and pull out both pins
and turn them to 90°® to enable the footrest to be positioned.
• Slide the footrest up or down as required and turn the snaps back through 90° allowing the snaps to
click into the required hole.
Only when the snaps audibly click into place will the footrest be secure.
WARNING
Ensure the snaps are fully locked and the footrest is secure before leaving
the occupier unattended.
7.3. Headrests
Removable Contoured Headrest
(for Florien Elite chairs with waterfall back only)
The removable contoured headrest can be used with the Florien Elite chair to provide additional
comfort, support and positioning for the occupant’s head.
Place fl ap over the top of the backrest to secure the headrest to the chair. This will be fi tted to the
chair upon delivery if ordered with the chair.
If the contoured headrest is ordered at a later date, remove the top waterfall cushion and replace this
with the contoured headrest.
Cushioned Headrest
(for Florien Elite chairs with contoured back only)
A cushioned headrest with a wrap-around Velcro fastening is available for added comfort and
positioning.
The headrest can be removed if required by loosening the Velcro attachment straps at the rear of the
chair and sliding off.
Reattach by fastening the Velcro at the rear of the chair as tightly as possible in the appropriate
position for the occupant.
7.4. Lap-Belt and D-Ring Fixing
The Lap-Belt helps stabilise the pelvis and position the occupant in the back of the chair to
achieve a good sitting posture and reduce the risk of tissue damage through the effects of shear
which can occur if the occupant has an unstable posture.
When using a Lap-Belt a level of supervision appropriate to the occupants abilities must be
applied at all times.
The footrest is height adjustable:
• Raise the legrest to the desired angle (refer to section 5.6).
• The complete footrest height should then be adjusted by releasing two spring-loaded snaps which
engage in holes in the metalwork of the legrest.
