14 Annual Product
Inspection
(Therapist, Technician, VIDA Product
Specialist, Dealer)
Leckey recommend that each product
should be subject to a detailed inspection
at least once a year and every time the
product is reissued for use. This inspection
should be carried out by a technically
competent person who has been trained
in the use of the product and should
include the following checks as a minimum
requirement.
1. Check all ratchet handles, knobs, nuts,
bolts and plastic buckles are in place,
replacing any missing items. Pay particular
attention to the following items;
> Headsupport locking bolts.
> Backrest height and angle
adjustments bolts.
> Seat depth adjustment bolts.
> Pelvic harness / hip guide
attachment bolts.
> Footrest height and angle
adjustment.
2. Check the chassis height adjustment
mechanism is working properly. If the
chassis is foot pedal operated ensure the
seat height doesn’t change when the pedal
is released. Also, check that the locking
pin engages securely to prevent accidental
height adjustment of the chassis.
3. Adjust the seat to its maximum range
of tilt in space and ensure that the locking
lever locks the seat out securely at varying
point in this range.
4. Check that where the seat and chassis
join there is no visible wear or tear on the
metal components.
5. Lift the base to check each castor
individually. Make sure they are moving
freely and remove any dirt from the rubber
wheels. Check that the brakes lock the
wheels securely.
6. Visually check the structure of the
product paying attention to weld points
on the frame ensuring there are no signs
of fatigue or cracking around the welds.
7. Leckey recommend that a written
record is maintained of all annual
product inspections.
If in any doubt to the continued safe
use of your Leckey product or if any
parts should fail, please cease using the
product and contact our Customer
Care Team or your local dealer as
soon as possible.
