ADJUSTING THE GAS LIFTING MECHANISM

Turn the cushion on its side and reach underneath the rear of the cushion. You will see a bar that

runs three quarters of the length of the base. Pull back on the widest part of the bar connected to

the lifting mechanism so that it releases from the resistance grooves. (See Fig 1).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Position the Lift Assist Cushion onto your chair ensuring the surface area is level and free from any

obstructions that may compromise the stability of the product. The lift assist cushion should be used

on a chair with arms. The cushioned area should ideally overhang the front of the chair. When ready

to sit down ensure your weight is distributed evenly on the flat part of the top of the cushion. The

lift assist cushion will gently ease you down slowly into your chair.

If the cushion does not go down when you sit in it then you will need to adjust the gas lift setting

underneath the cushion area.

When using the lift assist cushion to sit up and down the user should have both hands on the arms

of the chair and their feet flat on the floor at shoulder width apart. When rising out of a chair the

user should lean slightly forward and push off with the arms and legs. The lift assist cushion will

gently lift the user out of the chair (See Fig. 4).
