an attendant need to learn how take advance of the
dynamic functions and the tilt and recline features to
give the user the most benefits of the chair.
Make sure the belts and harnesses are fixed
in the best way for the user.

functions and explore how the user reacts to the
freedom for movement he / she becomes when
the dynamic functions are open.

the back angle. This is used when applying a
hoist to transfer the user in and out of the chair.
