4. Operating Instructions

The WEELKO Extens Podiatry Chair Model 63 offers various adjustments for patient comfort and practitioner convenience. Familiarize yourself with the controls before use.

4.1. Backrest Adjustment

To adjust the backrest angle, locate the lever or button typically found on the side of the chair, near the backrest pivot point. Engage the control and gently move the backrest to the desired position. Release the control to lock the backrest in place.

4.2. Leg Rest Adjustment

The chair features independent leg rests. Each leg rest can be adjusted for length and angle. Locate the corresponding levers or buttons for each leg rest. Adjust to accommodate patient height and treatment requirements. Ensure both leg rests are securely locked before the patient places full weight on them.

4.3. Armrest Adjustment

Armrests can typically be rotated or removed to facilitate patient entry and exit, or to provide better access during procedures. Consult the specific mechanism for your chair model, usually involving a release button or pivot point.

4.4. Height Adjustment (if applicable)

If your model includes hydraulic or electric height adjustment, use the foot pedal or hand control to raise or lower the chair to the optimal working height. Ensure the chair is stable before and after adjustment.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic condition of your podiatry chair.

• Cleaning Upholstery: Wipe down the white upholstery with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For disinfection, use a medical-grade disinfectant suitable for synthetic leather, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cleaning Frame: Clean the metal and plastic components with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Lubrication: Periodically check moving parts and pivot points. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if movement becomes stiff (consult a professional if unsure).
• Inspection: Annually, or more frequently with heavy use, inspect all bolts, screws, and connections for tightness. Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the frame, upholstery, or moving mechanisms.
• Electrical Components (if applicable): Ensure power cords are undamaged and connections are secure. Do not attempt to repair electrical components yourself.
