9.0 Seating and Positioning
Headrest (Fig. 9.1)
The headrest can be raised and moved both forwards and
backwards. To do this, simply loosen the screw (1 or 2), adjust
to the desired posi tion, and tighten the screw (see the page on
torque).
Trapezoid adapter (Fig. 9.2)
The receiver will be fixed on the seat plate with 6 screws and
connects the seat shell to the base. To loose the upper part,
move the red lever to the side, (1). To connect the seat shell let
the upper part slide into the receiver till it snaps audibly into
place.
WARNING!
The trapezoid adapter can only work properly if it is attached
correctly.
CAUTION!
Only use genuine Sunrise Medical approved parts/fasteners.
Accessory box (Fig.9.3.)
The accessory box gives the opportunity to store e.g. respiratory
or aspiratory devices underneath the base. Magnets keep the box
in place. To open the box pull the handle firmly.
DANGER!
• Never exeed the maximum load of 13 kg.
• Be careful when opening the box, the base can tip backwards.
• Anti-tips must be fitted.
Backrest fixation (Fig. 9.4).
The backrest fixation bracket enables the seat shell to be fixed
to the back.
Place the backrest fixation bracket over the back tubes and
tighten the star handle screws, (1).
If you loosen the star handle screws, (1) and fit the spacers into
the receivers, you are able to use the fixation with a recline
back (sliding mechanism).
CoG Adjustment (Fig. 9.5)
You can choose 2 center of gravity positions.
Each one gives the base a different characteristic.
When using the passive position, (1), it is difficult to tip the base
backwards, (very safe).
The active position, (2), allows easier handling and better
tipping performance.
