Feature Functionality
Below we have detailed the chair’s key features. Please read these carefully to ensure you
understand how to get the best from your chair.
Lockable castors
The Lynton comes with durable lockable castors as standard which are designed to glide easily over
low profile carpets, wooden and vinyl flooring.
ALWAYS LOCK THE CASTORS
when the chair
is stationary, for making transfers or for making changes to the chair set-up.
THIS WILL AVOID
any movements that could cause personal injury. Press down to lock and pull back up to unlock.
Glides
If your seat height has been raised with the addition of feet then your chair will no longer have
operational castors, but will have glides.

Low profile seat height
There is an option on both the 127 Kg and 159 Kg (20 and 25 stone) models to have a lower seat
height of 406mm (16''). The low profile model cannot have VAL fitted.
Handset instructions
The Lynton has either a Single or Dual Tilt in Space Mechanism. Please read the handset
instructions for your mechanism (pages 16 and 17). For safety, always ensure that you store the
handset on one of the loops on the chair.
Quick Release Handset Plug
Both handsets come with a quick release clip for detaching the handset. It should be attached to
the chair using the Velcro strips located at either side of the backrest at the bottom of the arm (see
Image 1).
To operate (Images 2):
Clip (A) locks plug (B) to plug (C). To lock Plugs (B) and (C) together - push the clip (A) against the
plugs until you hear it ‘click’ shut.
Ensure the quick release plug is fixed as shown on the outside of the chair with the velcro strip on
the back of either arm.

VAL Technology
VAL comes as standard on the 159 Kg (25 stone) model. It is not available on the 127 Kg (20 stone)
or low profile models. VAL allows the rise angle to be adjusted by a technician only to further
support individuals to a standing position.
