Leckey Squiggles User Instructions - page 13
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 12 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.
Unclip the pelvic harness in the middle and
allow the harness to open out to facilitate
transfer. Lastly if sandals are fitted open the
straps. You are now ready to manually
transfer or hoist the child into the seat.
Always secure the pelvic harness first
before fastening other buckles or
harnesses. Adjust the harness so the child
cannot slide or creep forward in the seat.
Adjusting the Pelvic
Harness
The correct positioning and tensioning of the
pelvic harness is key to a child’s postural
management affecting their comfort and
ability to achieve functional goals. Please ask
your therapist as to the correct tensioning of
straps for your child as this is critical to good
postural management.
Always secure the Pelvic harness first when
placing the child in the seat. Loosen all the
straps to their maximum to secure the
harness around the child’s hips. First secure
the plastic buckle (C) in the middle. To adjust
the depth, adjust straps (A) on both sides, (B)
for height and (D) for depth.
Check harness is secure to ensure the
child is safe and cannot slide forward
in the seat.
Chassis
To prepare the chassis for the seating system
we recommend that you raise the chassis to a
comfortable working height by pressing the
foot lever shown.
Height adjustment –
Hi Low chassis
You can carry out this adjustment with the
child in the chair. To adjust the height of the Hi
low chassis press the foot lever (A) at the rear
of the chassis whilst holding the push handle
(B). 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 pull
pin (C) 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 (C) should be kept in the locked position
when you are not adjusting the chassis.
Always keep the locking pin engaged when
you are not adjusting the chassis. This will
prevent the foot pedal being operated
accidentially.
