Convaid recommends the initial fitting, adjustments, and setup take place with the help of your Convaid Representative and/or Convaid Service Dealer. However, if the instructions contained in this manual are followed carefully, a caregiver or attendant will be able to set up the chair.

Unfolding the Chair

WARNING : Keep fingers away from the folding joints.

Folding the Chair

Note: Always properly secure the Coaster in a safe location when transporting Coaster as a cargo in vehicle

Lifting/Carrying the Chair

Note: To safely lift or carry the chair, always use both hands. Do not carry by upholstery or accessories.

WARNING: Always secure the chair with the closure strap when transporting the chair.

Fitting Guide

Correct seating and positioning encourages good posture, which in turn aids circulation, breathing and digestion. Please take the time to properly adjust the chair to fit the user. If the user is not correctly positioned, check the accessories section of this manual to see if one or more of our accessories would help to facilitate posture or consult a physical therapist. Improper seating can cause problems. Please consult a physical therapist or doctor for additional guidance.

Seat Back Height

Seat back height varies according to chair type and seat width. Headrest extensions are available when extra height is needed to support the head. To determine the seat back height, measure the distance from the seat to the top of the shoulder or the upper part of the head, while seated.

Seat Width

Proper seat width enables the user to sit comfortably and prevents problems from developing. While user is seated on a flat surface, measure the distance from hip
to hip. The user should have enough room to prevent hips and thighs from rubbing against the frame. However, the chair should not be too wide or the user will slide around and posture could be affected. The seat width measurement for the Coaster is taken from the outside of the seat tubes.

Seat Depth

Measure the distance from the most posterior portion of the buttocks to the back of the knee. Subtract from that measurement 1 – 2” to allow adequate clearance between the seat and the back of the knee.

Seat Depth Adjustment

Standard Two-Piece Upholstery Position

Note: The lower seat upholstery is attached to the back upholstery with hook and loop. It is used to take up slack in the seat panel after seat depth adjustments have been made. It is not meant to create a downward slope of the seat upholstery.

Do not pull the seat upholstery hook and loop excessively to attach to the back upholstery.
Do loosely connect the seat upholstery hook and loop to the back upholstery once user is correctly positioned.

Excessive hook and loop overlap lifts seat fabric and pushes hips forward, creating poor posture and reducing effective seat depth.
Correct hoop and loop adjustment provides room for hips, and makes greater use of seat depth.

Spare Parts

If you need any spare parts for your chair, please visit or call Convaid or your Service Dealer. If the part is not under warranty, you will receive an estimate of the cost and, if necessary, shipping instructions for the return of the chair for repairs.

Chair Maintenance

The following maintenance procedures should be conducted on a regular basis: Examine your Convaid product visually from time to time for possible wear and tear. Lubricant should be applied to frame and moving parts to maintain easy folding and adjustment.

a) Tire Air Pressure: The air pressure in your pneumatic tires should be checked WEEKLY, since low air pressure may affect brake ability. The recommended air pressure is located on the side of the tire wall.
b) Axles and Moving Parts: Axles and moving parts should be wiped off WEEKLY with a slightly moist cloth, to remove dust, dirt and mud. Sparingly apply a high quality Teflon spray* after each cleaning. DO NOT USE WD-40, silicone sprays or other lubricant sprays as they will attract dust and dirt.
c) Repair or replace loose, worn, bent, missing or damaged parts before using the chair.
d) Flat tire: In the event of flat tire, please contact customer service or local dealer for specific repair or replacement instructions.

• Use a non-toxic, hypoallergenic, dry lubricant for all moving parts of the frame.

Cleaning

Cleaning and disinfection

To prevent the spread of germs, clean all skin contacting areas with disinfectant wipes regularly. Keep frame dry and apply a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant to all moving parts. After longer storage periods, and before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned, and disinfected.

Cleaning of frame

Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non- toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable wipe. Lubricant should be applied to moving parts as needed to maintain easy folding and adjustment.

Cleaning of wheels and brakes
Wheels and brakes should be kept free of dirt or mud after each use. Foreign objects could cause interference with moving parts. Wipe wheels and brakes with a moist cloth as needed and readjust brakes if needed.

Cleaning of Scout Tires

To avoid damage to the brake seals, use only alcohol or water when cleaning the caliper part.

Cleaning of fabric cover
Seat and back upholstery can be easily removed, washed, air dried and reattached to the chair. Use standard detergent to wash fabric.

Cushioned parts can also be removed from chair, washed or wiped off with a moist cloth. Before reattaching them to the chair, make sure they are completely dry. Use mild detergent to wash fabric. Use gentle cycle and cold water. Hang dry.

Safety Instructions

• Do not attempt to take occupied chair up or down stairs, escalators, steep inclines, icy or slippery surfaces.

• To avoid tipping, do not overload the chair, or hang heavy items on the handles that might cause tipping.

• Frequently inspect the adjustments on the frame and the positioning accessories.

• Do not use chair after occupant has outgrown it.

• Do not ignore minor malfunctions and maintain the chair in good operating condition.

• Inspect the wheel locks and brakes, if applicable, regularly and adjust as needed.

• If and whenever possible and feasible, the rider should transfer out of the chair and into an approved vehicle seat and/or passenger restraint system.
  However, if a transfer is not possible, use only designated chairs in a moving vehicle which contain the Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS) following the requirements of SAE J2249. Follow tie-down harness manufacturer’s instructions carefully and refer to Transit Section for specifics.

• When going up a curb or step, face forward and tilt the chair back to lift the front wheels over the curb. Move forward and lift the rear wheels over the curb.

• When going down a curb, approach the curb backwards. Lower the rear wheels down the curb and continue backwards, taking the weight off the front wheels so they can be gently lowered.

• Maintain control of the chair at all times while going up/down ramp. Avoid steep  slopes, particularly with a heavy occupant. If in doubt, do not proceed unless a third party is present to help maintain control of chair.

• When transferring user to or from chair, apply foot wheel locks.

Upholstery Removal

Transport, Storage and Disposal

Recommended Clear Zones In Vehicle

The rear clear zone is measured from the rearmost point on an occupant’s head. The front clear zone is measured from the frontmost point on an occupant’s head.

Providing Clear Space & Padding

Position the chair aboard the motor vehicle to ensure sufficient clear space in front of, and behind, the occupant.

CAUTION: If there are any hard or sharp objects or components near the chair, such as components of lifts or fold-up seats, they must be covered with heavy- duty energy-absorbing padding to ensure the safety of the chair occupant and other passengers.

Securing the Chair for Transport

When securing the occupied Coaster, it is important that the WTORS anchor points on the floor and wall of the motor vehicle are positioned properly according to the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions. The chair must be positioned facing forward inside the vehicle.

The floor anchor points and chair should meet the following:

• Be located so that the tie-down straps follow a straight, clear path from the chair securement points to the floor anchor points and
• Be located so that the front straps are angled outward from the sides of the chair

Restraining the Chair Occupant

Your Convaid transit chair was dynamically crash tested in a forward-facing configuration using an appropriately sized crash-test dummy restrained by both upper-torso (shoulder) and lower-torso (lap) belts. To reduce the possibility of head and chest injuries resulting from contact with vehicle components, you must use both upper and lower torso belts.

Your Convaid transit chair provides for the use of an optional chair-anchored lap belt. The optional belt, which has been dynamically tested in accordance with WC19/7176-19, may be ordered from Convaid at a nominal additional cost. To attach the lap belt to the chair, secure the metal clips at the ends of the lap belt. to the pin/bushing connectors located on the chair’s rear securement-point brackets.

Before loading the chair onto the vehicle lift, fasten the lap belt over the chair user’s pelvis. The chair user should wear the optional lap belt as low over the pelvis and as snugly as possible without compromising comfort. The vehicle-anchored shoulder belt may then be clipped to the pin/ bushing connector located on the lap belt near where it attaches to the chair. When not in use, the optional lap belt may be looped underneath the seat, buckled, and tightened.

If the chair is purchased without the optional lap belt or if the chair user elects not to use the belt, a vehicle- anchored lap and shoulder belt must be used. As with the chair-anchored lap belt, it is very important to position the vehicle-anchored lap belt low over the pelvis so that the angle of the lap belt is within the preferred zone of 45º to 75º to the horizontal or the optional zone of 30º to 45º to the horizontal.

Note: Steeper side view pelvic-belt angles are especially important if the pelvic belt is intended to be used for postural support in addition to occupant restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop between the user and the belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, thereby reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt for the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use.

Note: Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal impact loading.

Be sure that the shoulder belt crosses the chest and the middle of one shoulder and that belt restraints are not held a way from the body by chair components or parts, such as arm rests or chair legs.

Thread the lap belt under the frame tubes located directly under the user’s elbows and pull the belt snug against the pelvis. Ensure that belt webbing is not twisted and remains in contact with the chair user’s shoulder and chest as this may compromise safety.

Using Postural Belts & Supports

Positioning accessories such as pelvic positioning belts, anterior trunk supports, and lateral trunk supports may be used while in transit but are not designed to provide restraint during a crash.
Postural supports and belts should not be relied on for restraint in a vehicle crash and should be used only in conjunction with lap and shoulder belts that have been designed for restraint in a motor vehicle and crash tested in accordance with RESNA WC-4-19 and/or ISO 7176-19.

Trays & Other Chair Components

To reduce the risk of potential injury to the chair user or other occupants in a motor-vehicle crash, chair-mounted accessories, such as trays and respiratory equipment, must be removed and secured separately during transit. Use tether straps or other strong attachment hardware to prevent items from breaking loose and causing injury during a crash.
