3 OPERATION AND MOVEMENT
Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when operating the chair's functions or moving the
chair. Only authorized caregivers should attempt to operate or move a chair. The caregiver must use proper body
mechanics when operating the chair, and be prepared to support the weight of the resident while operating the chair.
3.1
Seat Tilt- Posterior and Anterior
The seat can be tilted to any position from the most
upright to the lowest or highest position within its
range. This assists the caregiver in changing a
resident's body position to minimize falling or sliding
forward and improve the resident's comfort. The
anterior tilt helps provide a safe sit/stand assist.
To Activate the Seat Tilt:
-Place right hand on bar to assist movement and
squeeze tilt handle with left hand.
-Raise or lower seat tilt until desired angle is achieved
Since the BARI 385 is intended for use with heavier
occupants, the lifting force of the counterbalancing seat
tilt cylinders have been selected appropriately. This
means that the seat tilt cylinders will provide so much
lifting force that the seat tilt angle may not be increased
if the chair is unoccupied or not occupied by an
appropriately heavy person.
WARNING: When decreasing the seat tilt while the
chair is unoccupied or occupied by a person that is
significantly lighter than the lifting capacity of the
seat tilt cylinders, the seat may come out of tilt
faster than expected.
The Bari 385 seat tilt lifting capacity can be adjusted to
provide the appropriate amount of lifting force for the
resident in the chair. (See page 10 for instruction.)
If the chair is occupied by a person of an appropriate
weight but the force of the seat tilt cylinders cannot be
overcome, the operator may choose to initially recline
the backrest to distribute the weight of the occupant
further back relative to the seat and to gain a
mechanical advantage of the outstretched backrest to
assist in compressing the seat tilt cylinders. If this
approach is used, care should be taken to ensure that
the chair does not tip backwards during the procedure
from the extra weight applied to the rear of the chair.
If the chair needs to be put into an anterior tilt position,
ensure that the legrest length is adjusted to the shortest
length, so that the legrest does not hit the ground when
the seat is moved into anterior tilt.
