11.5 Height adjustment -
Easy chassis
The height of the Easy chassis should be
set before putting the child in the seat. To
adjust the height loosen the ratchet handle
(A) at the rear of the main stem and adjust
the seat to the required height. To lower
the seat height, apply weight centrally
on the seat base above the centre stem.
Re-tighten the ratchet handle to secure.
Check the ratchet handle regularly
to ensure the seat height adjustment
is secure.
Do not height adjust with the child
in the seat.

11.6 Tilt in space
The tilt in space can be angled while the
user is in the seat. Before you adjust the tilt
in space angle of the seat always ensure the
pelvic harness is secured, preventing the user
from sliding forward in the seat.
The collar (A) should always be in the locked
position when the seat is in use. To actuate
the lever (B) first unlock the collar (A) by
rotating it until it clicks into the open position.
Press the lever down and set to
the desired angle holding the handle bar
throughout. Re-lock the locking collar
after you have set the tilt position.
Always keep the collar (A) in the locked
position to prevent accidental actuation of
the lever which could cause the seat unit to
jolt and possibly cause injury to the child.
Please use handle bars when operating
tilt in space.
Always check with your therapist that
the use of tilt in space will not cause any
obstructions to the child's airways.

11.7 Chest and trunk
Harness adjustment
If the child requires chest support as part
of their postural support programme the
seat will be fitted with rigid laterals or a
combination of laterals, chest harness
and trunk harness. These may need to be
adjusted on a daily basis to accommodate
differences in clothing.
Always check with your therapist as to the
optimum positioning and tensioning of the
straps and support items for the child.
To change the width of the chest harness,
lift the front cover, adjust the Velcro straps
(A) and set to the desired width. When the
correct width has been achieved replace the
cover.
Please refer to section 10 for specific
guidance on adjusting the trunk harness.
Always make sure the plastic buckles
are fully engaged when using the
chest harness.
Check the harness and laterals are secure
to ensure the child is safe and cannot
slide forward in the seat as this may
restrict their breathing.
