M. POSITIONING AND GROWTH ADJUSTMENTS GUIDE

!WARNING

If necessary, a healthcare professional should make any changes to the positioning and growth adjustments. These adjustments are very important to the orthopedic and neurological needs of the child. Care should be taken to make sure they are appropriate.

Use the 5/32" hex head tool provided or an electric screwdriver with a 5/32" hex head bit to adjust the seating and positioning system. The enclosed hand held hex bit wrench is ergonomically designed to work at many angles. An electric screwdriver with a 5/32" hex head bit is useful when doing several fittings. However, care must be taken to not over-loosen or over-tighten the screws.

In general, positioning and growth adjustments should be done in the following order:

1.Adjust seat

2.Adjust back

3.Adjust pelvic positioning belt

4.Adjust footbed

5.Adjust head support

6.Make other standard and optional adjustments needed

7.Check to be sure that all adjustment screws are tight
