NRS Healthcare SEAHORSE PLUS N72012 Benutzeranleitung Seite 5

The Seahorse Plus is not designed for use or storage
outdoors.
Make sure the seat height is correctly adjusted (see
section 5.2) and the commode pan removed (see
section 5.8) before using over a toilet. Take care
when positioning the chair over the toilet to make
sure the seat aperture lines up with the toilet bowl to
avoid spillage.
WARNING: Before using the chair for the first
time, make sure the chair is fully assembled (see
section 4), and that the chair is correctly adjusted
for the user as described below.
WARNING: Before getting in or out of the chair,
make sure castors are locked (except when using
a hoist). Make sure footrests are flipped up and
that the user does not stand on the footrests.
WARNING: Do not use the chair to transport the
user up or down steep ramps or slopes.
WARNING: Do not leave a user unattended in
the chair, or leave the chair in an unsupervised
environment.
WARNING: We recommend that the lap-strap is
used at all times during showering or bathing,
to reduce risk of the user sliding out of the chair.
5.1 Operation of Castor Brakes
The chair has 4 independently lockable castors. We
recommend that the castor locks are always fully
engaged when stationary (except during hoisting).
Fig 1: Castor Unlocked
1. To lock the castor brake, press down on the
castor tab (Fig 1).
2. To disengage the castor brake, press-in the
button above the castor tab (Fig 2).
Fig 2: Castor Locked
3. For maximum stability (most importantly when
the chair is tilted), the rear castors should be
rotated backwards and locked (Fig 2).
5.2 Seat Height Adjustment
The seat height can be adjusted to suit different
users and to aid positioning over a toilet.
There are 4 adjustment holes, giving an adjustment
of 108mm / 4.25". Each position is marked by a line
on the upper leg, and a number (1-4), 1 being the
lowest setting and 4 being the highest.
WARNING: The chair should not be occupied
when adjusting the seat height.
WARNING: Check both height adjustment clips
are securely fitted before use.
1. Lock all 4 castors (see section 5.1).
2. Remove the commode pan (see section 5.8).
3. Tilt the chair until the back is in line with the
angled legs (see section 5.5).
4. Remove both height adjustment clips (E).
5. Standing behind the seat, place your foot on the
bottom bar of the frame. This will help prevent the
frame from moving when lifting the seat. Place
your hand through the commode pan hole and
lift or lower the seat. This requires a reasonable
amount of force and may require two people.
6. Align the desired height marking on the inner leg
with the outer leg.
7. Insert Height Adjustment clip (E). Repeat on the
other leg, ensuring the same height marking is
used.
8. Tilt the chair back to vertical (see section 5.2).
5.3 Footrest Adjustment
The footrest height can be adjusted at 25mm
increments to a total of 100mm / 4" (small and
medium size chairs) and 125mm / 5" (large chair).
