Always keep the locking pin engaged
when you are not adjusting the chassis.
This will prevent the foot pedal being
operated accidentally.
For children over the weight of 27kg
(60lbs), raising the manual chassis is
a 2 person lift (UK lifting and handling
regulations).
Always use caution as hands could
become trapped when height adjusting
the base.
8.3 Height Adjustment
– Hi-low chassis
You can carry out this adjustment with the
child in the chair. To adjust the height of the
Hi-low chassis press the foot lever at the
rear of the chassis for the gas spring version
and repeatedly for the hydraulic version and
lift pedal up to lower the chassis, or press
the up button on the handset of the powered
option whilst holding the push handle.
Once you remove your foot from the pedal
or your thumb from the handset the seat will
be fixed at the chosen height.
For safety the height adjustment pedal on
the chassis can be locked by engaging
the pull pin (C) on the right hand side of
the pedal. The height adjustment pedal on
the hydraulic chassis should be pushed in
when the required height adjustment has
been achieved. To unlock pull the pin out
and rotate 90 degrees, the pedal can then
be operated. The locking pin (C) should be
kept in the locked position when you are not
adjusting the chassis.

8.4 Tilt in space
The tilt in space can be angled while the
user is in the seat. Before you adjust the tilt
in space angle of the seat always ensure the
pelvic harness is secured preventing the user
from sliding forward in the seat.
To adjust the tilt angle press the lever under
the seat base. Once you have selected the
angle you require, by simply removing your
hand from the lever, the chair will be locked
in position. The tilt in space should be
locked off while the user is in the seat. To
lock the lever twist the pull pin to the right
hand side of the lever and the pin will pop
into position. You may have to lift the lever
slightly to allow it to lock. To unlock pull the
pin out and rotate 90 degrees, the lever can
then be operated.
Always keep the tilt in space lever
in the locked position to prevent
accidental actuation of the lever which
could cause the seat unit to jolt and
possibly cause injury to the child.
Please use handle bars when operating
tilt in space.
Always check with your therapist that
the use of tilt in space will not cause
any obstructions to the child’s airways.
