ADJUSTMENT FOR DAILY USE

(THERAPISTS/CARERS/PARENTS)
Parents and carers should be shown how to make frequent adjustments and be made aware of the safety checks in Section 7 by a technically and clinically competent person who has been trained in the use of the product. Leckey recommend that a written record is maintained of all parents and carers who have been trained in the use of this product.
12.1 TRANSFERRING YOUR CHILD INTO AND OUT OF THE SEAT
Before transferring the child into the seat carry out the daily product inspection as outlined in section 14 of this user manual.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable height to facilitate transfer. Lock all the castors, ensuring that they are facing outwards to maximise product stability. Make sure the safety buckle on the chest harness is released and is out of the way to facilitate transfer. If the seat has flip-away chest laterals, first move these out of the way. Unclip the pelvic harness in the middle. Lastly if sandals are fitted, open the straps. You are now ready to transfer or hoist the child into the seat.

p32 Everyday Activity Seat User Manual

If the seat has flip-away chest laterals, first move these out of the way. Unclip the pelvic harness in the middle. Lastly if sandals are fitted, open the straps. You are now ready to transfer or hoist the child into the seat.
Once the child is in the seat, firstly fasten the pelvic harness using the middle buckle. Then refasten the sandal straps and any other harnesses, and reposition the chest laterals.

Always secure the pelvic harness or pelvic cradle first before fastening other buckles or harnesses. Adjust the harness so the child cannot slide or creep forward in the seat.

12.2 ADJUSTING THE PELVIC HARNESS
For side adjustment, open the camlocks and either pull the straps to tighten or feed the straps through to loosen, depending on fit required A To adjust in the centre, pull the D ring from the Velcro and feed strap through buckle on either strap to loosen the belt or pull D ring away from the buckle to tighten the belt B .
Ensure strap is fed through the triglide as a safety precaution in case the camlock is opened accidentally.

12.3 CHEST 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 and chest 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.

Everyday Activity Seat User Manual p33

To change the width of the chest harness, lift the front cover, adjust the Velcro straps and set to the desired width. When the correct width has been achieved replace the cover.
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.
If the child is active or has extensor spasms check the pelvic harness is secure after each spasm to ensure the child is safe and cannot slide forward in the seat.
If the child is active or has extensor spasms check the pelvic harness is secure after each spasm to ensure the child is safe and cannot slide forward in the seat.
Always fasten the centre buckle on the pelvic harness before making any other adjustments.

12.4 CHASSIS
The Everyday Activity Seat is designed to fit onto several Chassis options. Size 1 fits onto the hi-low gas spring chassis. Size 2 fits onto the hi-low gas spring and hi-low powered chassis. Size 3 fits onto the hi-low hydraulic chassis. This user manual shows the correct and safe use of the seating system with these chassis options. The castors on the chassis include directional locks. To apply the locks push down on the grey pedal. When the directional locks are in use the chair will steer with the back castors.
12.5 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HI- LOW CHASSIS
You can carry out this adjustment with the user in the chair. To adjust the height of the hi-low chassis press the foot lever at the rear of the chassis whilst holding the push handle. Once you remove your foot from the pedal the seat will be fixed at the chosen height. For safety the height adjustment pedal on the chassis can be locked by engaging the locking pin A on the right hand side of the pedal. To unlock pull the pin out and rotate 90 degrees, the pedal can then be operated. The locking pin A should be kept in the locked position when you are not adjusting the chassis.
Before using the foot pedal, pull the pedal out away from the seat.

height adjusting the base.

12.6 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HI-LOW HYDRAULIC CHASSIS

B
If the footplate has been set to the lowest position and the height of the hilow chassis has been adjusted to the lowest position, you might find there is a clash with the castors and the footplate. To prevent this clash, turn the front castors around so the directional locks are facing backwards and engage the directional locks B .
Always keep the locking pin engaged when you are not adjusting the chassis. This will prevent the foot pedal being operated accidentally.
For children over the weight of 27kg (60lbs), raising the Hi-low chassis is a 2 person lift (UK lifting and handling regulations).

Everyday Activity Seat User Manual p35

You can carry out this adjustment with the user in the chair. To adjust the height of the hi-low chassis use a pump action on the foot lever at the rear of the chassis whilst holding the push handle. Once you remove your foot from the pedal the seat will be fixed at the chosen height.
Before using the foot pedal, pull the pedal out away from the seat.
12.7 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HI-LOW POWERED CHASSIS
You can carry out this adjustment with the user in the chair. Press the up or down arrowed button on the handset depending on height required. Hold the button in until required height is achieved. When you release the button the seat will be fixed at the chosen height.

12.8 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.
To adjust the tilt angle press the lever under the seat base. Once you have selected the angle you require, by simply removing your hand from the lever, the chair will be locked in position. The tilt-in-space should be locked off while the user is in the seat. To lock the lever twist the pull pin to the right hand side of the lever and the pin will pop into position. You may have to lift the lever slightly to allow it to lock.
To unlock, pull the pin out and rotate 90 degrees, the lever can then be operated.
Always keep the tilt-in- space lever 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.

CLEANING & CARE INFORMATION

How to maintain
When cleaning we recommend that you use only warm water and a nonabrasive detergent. Never use organic solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and fabrics
1. The cushion covers in the soft fabric option can be removed and machine washed at 40°C however they are not suitable for tumble drying. Please remove the foam from the following covers before washing:
· Headrest · Backrest cushion · Seat base cushion
All other soft upholstery can be placed into the washing machine intact, after removing bolts and fastenings.
The vinyl cushion covers can be cleaned using water and a cloth.

ordinary soiling and minor spills. Be careful not to over wet the fabric as this will cause the staining to spread.
4. Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used on more stubborn stains. These may require a safe solvent such as Isopropyl Alcohol or Mineral Spirit. A half cup of household bleach to 5 litres of water can also be used as a useful disinfectant.
5. The pelvic and trunk harnesses can be machine washed at 40°C. Make sure all bolts and fasteners are removed first as they may cause damage to your washing machine. Store these in a safe place and out of reach from children.
