IMPROPER USES

• 

Manipulating the chair without proper training.

• 

Wheeling the chair outside of designated areas.

• 

Wheeling the chair without using the directional wheel.

• 

Using it for a patient without professional approval.

• 

Making adjustments that require frequent repositioning.

• 

Leaving a patient in an unsafe area or without supervision.

• 

Using it as a shower chair.

• 

Exceeding the recommended weight limit.

• 

Allowing a patient to stand on the footrest.

• 

Moving the chair without disengaging the brakes.

• 

Not adjusting the length of the footrest based on the leg 

support angle.

• 

Reclining the backrest without changing the tilt angle of the seat.

CLEANING

The chair’s coverings must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s 

directions. Check with your supplier to ensure that your cleaning products 

are suitable.

The chair should not be pressure washed or placed inside a washing 

machine. These practices may cause the chair components to rust 

internally, as well as deteriorate the adjustment components, thus 

voiding the LPA chair warranty.

MAINTENANCE

As long as the use and cleaning recommendations are followed, the 

Optimum chair does not require preventive maintenance. You may need 

to replace some parts due to normal wear after years of use.
