5.2 Pre-set armrests (standard Q700 M Ergo)
Pre-set armrest height
The following section outlines armrest height adjustment. In
the case of either fine or gross adjustment, it is a two-part
process:
PART I: Adjust the armrest height using the rear pivot.
PART 2: Adjust arm pad angle using the front pivot.
PART 1 (Fig. 5.5)
Up to 5.5" (140 mm) of armrest height adjustment can be
achieved using the 0.2" (5.0 mm) fine height adjustment
screw to fine tune the armrest’s height.
• Use the 5.0 mm Allen key that is stored on the inside of the
left hand armrest.
• Turn the screw, (A), at the upper rear pivot and your
armrest will move up or down depending on the rotation
direction (1) + (2).
PART 2 (Fig. 5.6)
•
•
When your armrest is at the desired height, use the same
tool to turn the screw, (B), below the lower front pivot of the
armrest.
This process will set the arm pad angle to the required
setting, (2) + (3).
Pre-set the arm pad
forward or back
: (Fig.5.7)
• Loosen the 2 bolts at the bottom of the arm pad rail.
• Slide the arm pad along the channel nuts.
• At this point some inward and outward angle adjustment is
also possible.
• Move the front bolt from front hole to the slot hole, (A).
• Tighten the bolts securely when the angle is set.
• When the correct position is reached tighten the 2 bolts
securely with the 5.0 mm Allen Key, (Hex Wrench).
• Place the tool in its original space so it can be used for
further adjustments in the future.
WARNING!
All screws should be checked periodically for tightness. A
loose arm pad could slip down when pressed
.

Lift off side cushion
The Q700 M Ergo, has the ability to remove the side support
cushion without the use of tools. This facilitates side transfers
especially when the chair is fitted with lateral knee or hip supports.
To remove the side cushion:
•
Pull the plastic lever that is attached to the aluminum seat side
rails backwards (Fig.5.4 - A).
•
Swing the back part of the cushion outwards to an angle of
approximately 10° - 90°.
•
Lift the cushion out from the front pin.
To refit the side cushion:
•
•
Align the pin at the front edge of the seat plate with the hole of
the aluminium side rail.
Slide the rail onto the pin and swing the side cushion all the
way in, until the latch locks in with an audible click.
•
As with all moving parts be careful not to trap your fingers
