The
right-hand
suboccipital support pad is
then attached. This is done by loosening the
middle screw on the rear of the support pad
with the Torx key. Position the ball on the rear
of the support pad in the right-hand socket on
the frame of the Papillon head support. Next,
tighten the middle screw with the Torx key.

Repeat the same steps for the

suboccipital support pad.
The head support has now been assembled, but is not yet ready for use.
Some careful fine-tuning is necessary first. We therefore recommend you
read the configuration instructions carefully:
ConfiguringthePapillonheadsupport
The head support needs to be configured by at least two persons
when the user is comfortably seated in the (wheel)chair after
having adopted the preferred basic posture beforehand. One person
ensures that the user’s head adopts the right position, whilst the
other configures the head support.
•
By supporting and turning the user’s head, simulate the best position
for this. Bear the following in mind when you do this: the degree to
which the head is properly balanced; the movement of the head; and any
possible reflex activity that may occur.
