Construction And Function Of The Basic Version; Upholstery; Setting And Adjustment Options; Length Adjustment Of The Back - Ottobock Robby Gebrauchsanweisung

To keep soap from getting in the child's eyes during hair washing, the headrest can either be turned backwards or the
fabric upholstery can be removed from this section to allow for free motion of the head.
The ROBBY has been designed to grow with your child, and has telescoping frame tubes that can easily be modified
to change back length and seat depth.
The construction and functions of the Robby bathing support are explained in detail in the following section.

Construction and Function of the Basic Version

The Robby bathing support consists of a lower leg section (1), seat (2), backrest (3) and headrest (4). (Fig. 1)
The frame is covered with two sections of upholstery that overlap each other in the pelvic area and which are con-
nected with hook and loop straps. To accommodate any growth the child may experience, the hook and loop straps
can be loosened to allow for greater or lesser upholstery depth.
The angle of the bathing support is set with ratchet-lock joints found on either side (Fig. 2). To unlock and set the
ratchet-lock joint, press the push-button (Fig. 3). After setting the position, release the push-button and lock the joint
by moving it to the nearest locking position.
The individual sections of the bathing support can be adjusted with the ratchet-lock joints A, B, C and D (Fig. 4).
To adjust the sections, opposing ratchet-lock joint push-buttons must be depressed simultaneously and held during
adjustment (Fig. 5).
The easiest way to release the push-button is to press it in with your thumb while using your other fingers to adjust
the angle of the support.
Once you've reached the desired position release the push-buttons of the ratcheting-lock joints. The joints will lock
automatically.

Upholstery

The tension of the upholstery can be adjusted individually with the hook and loop straps (Fig. 6).
General Handling
If the ROBBY is dry, the easiest way to adjust the support is to butt one section up against your chest while holding
it with your hands on the ratcheting-lock joints(Fig. 7). You can facilitate the whole procedure with the upper half of
your body.
The setting position shown in Fig. 8 is awkward and requires too much force and is therefore not recommended.

Setting and Adjustment Options

Adjust the bathing support using the procedure described above. Both sitting positions (Fig. 9) and lying positions
(Fig. 10). are set in the same way.
Headrest Adjustment
To help prevent soap from getting in the child's eyes release the ratchet-lock joint D and move the headrest backwards
(Fig. 11).
Another option is to remove the upholstery from the headrest. In this situation the child's head is completely unsup-
ported and, in case of poor head control, should be supported by hand of the attendant (Fig. 12).
To minimize excessive neck musculature tension, the headrest can also be adjusted forwards in conjunction with an
increase in hip flexion,
Setting and Adjustment Options

Length Adjustment of the Back:

To change the length of the back section, loosen the bolts on either side of the back section with a hex cap socket
wrench (Fig. 13).
Then loosen the hook and loop straps of both overlapping parts of the upholstery fabric in the pelvic section of the
backrest (Fig. 14).
Next pull the headrest upwards and simultaneously hold the seat with the other hand.
When the required position is reached, tighten both bolts again. Make sure that each bolt has been screwed back
into the hole it was removed them. (Fig. 15).
Now pull both parts of upholstery fabric tightly again one upon another and connect them with the hook and loop
straps (Fig. 16).

Length Adjustment of the Seat:

To change the seat length, loosen the bolts on either side of the seat with a hex cap socket wrench (Fig. 17).
