Unlocking the Seat

• 

A locking hand wheel is located on the 

right adjustment leg of the Seahorse. This 

is a secondary safety device that prevents 

unwanted angling of the seat.

SAFETY NOTE

At all times when the seat is in a fi xed position 

the  locking  hand  wheel  should  be  fi rmly 

tightened so that it locates in the indexing holes 

on the side of the seat.

Always check the child’s hands are clear of the 

pivoting mechanism prior to adjusting the seat 

angle.

• 

Prior to adjusting the seat angle, the locking 

hand wheel should be loosened.

• 

Once the locking hand wheel is loosened, use 

one hand to fi rmly support the seat.

• 

Place the other hand on the indexing plunger 

and pull against the spring.

• 

The seat is now free to rotate to any of the 

designated angles.

• 

To lock the seat, release the plunger and allow 

it to spring into the required locating hole.

• 

Once adjustment is complete re-tighten the 

locking hand wheel prior to using the device.

Adjusting the Seat Angle

The Seahorse has been designed to provide angular adjustment of the seat allowing the Carer to 

orientate the child in a convenient position for showering and toileting.
