HANGER BRACKET INTERFACE METHOD
If the 3D Modular System has been set up to interface into the wheelchair with Location
Hanger Brackets then the following method is used to install and remove it from the
wheelchair.
Firmly
•
holding the 3D Modular System lower
it into the wheelchair. As you lower the seat
into the wheelchair please note that under the
support frame on the seating system you will see
some additional brackets, these are the Location
Hanger Brackets and are intended to sit onto
the seat rails of the wheelchair. Gently lower
the seating system into position making sure
that the Hanger Brackets locate on the seat rails
(Fig.1.1e).
Having
•
lowered the seat onto the seat rails and
located the Hanger Brackets the rear of the seat
needs to locate onto the back of the wheelchair.
Slide the seating system back on the seat rails
until the rear Location Hanger Bracket sits
against the backrest of the wheelchair.
With
•
the seating system Hanger Brackets located
on the seat rails and the backrest posts of the
wheelchair it is now necessary to slide the
Hanger Bracket lock tubes into position where
fitted (Fig.1.1f).
With
•
the locking tubes in position tighten the
locking screws to secure permanently.
Having
•
attached all the hanger brackets into
position as described above all that remains to
be done is to fit the rear retention straps (on the
support frame of the seating system) around the
back of the wheelchair and secure in position
(Fig.1.1g).
The
•
seat is now ready to use.
Special
•
Seating System Restraint Straps must
always be in position and tightened firmly.
This is essential during transportation of the
client, to ensure client safety.
Check
•
tightness of these straps regularly.
loose straps are potentially dangerous and
may not secure the 3D Modular System
properly.
To
•
remove the seating system from the
wheelchair simply, reverse the above procedure.
