5.16 Stand Up function
This power chair has an electric standing function. This function makes it
possible for the user to stand up in the wheelchair.
• The stand up procedure automatically locks the front and rear castor
arm suspension.
• If the locking procedure fails the chair will automatically stop in a
safe position. The seat can always be returned to the normally seated
position in any mode.
WARNING!
• Before using the standing function ensure that the front knee fixation
is in place.
• Only use the standing function on a sound and level surface.
5.16.1 Using a chest strap
WARNING!
• The chest strap may only be assembled and adapted by an authorized
dealer.
• Before operating the stand-up function the chest strap and the
positioning belt, supplied as standard has to be buckled in accordance
with these user instructions.
• Always also use the knee fixation for the stand-up procedure.
DANGER!
Due to the risk of choking it is extremely hazardous to use the belts
without using the knee fixation.
Chest strap Adjustments:
Setting the height of the chest strap, (Fig.5.19).
NOTE: A 5.0 mm Hexagon wrench, (Allen Key), is required.
Positioning:
• Seat the user into the chair in the correct seating position.
• Loosen the Allen screw to be able to position the chest strap at the
desired height.
• Tighten the Allen screws to a torque value of 9 Nm (+/- 10%).
DANGER!
To prevent choking hazards the belt may not be adjusted too high or too
low relative to the users body.
Make sure the rider does not slide in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs,
the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from
the chest strap.
Never use the chest strap as a patient restraint.
Never use the chest strap on a user who is comatose or agitated.
CAUTION!
Ensure the belt position does not interfere with any other device
attached to the wheelchair.
