Operating Instructions
Armrest
Armrests have been fitted to both sides of the chair these are to aide comfort whilst the
patient is sat in the chair.
The armrests should be in the lowered position when the patient is getting in and out of the
portering chair.
The armrests can also be lowered to allow a patient access from the side as the armrests
lower to a position below the seat level. This can easily be achieved by pulling the plunger, to
disengage, then lower the armrest.
To raise the armrest, simply pull the armrest upwards. It will click as the plunger engages into
position. Ensure the plunger has engaged in the locator and the armrest locked into position.
