Getting the Podiatry Chair Into Position
The chair’s main movements are controlled using the foot pedals. These controls adjust the chair height, back position, and seat position, allowing you to move the chair into a comfortable working position before or during patient care.

Saving and Returning to Chair Positions
The M1 and M2 buttons let you save two chair positions for repeated use. After adjusting the back, seat, and height, hold AUT with M1 or M2 to save the position. The AUT control can return the chair to a saved position, while the END pedal returns it to its lowest starting position.

Rotating and Positioning the Chair Safely
The chair can rotate up to 180 degrees, allowing movement to either side when needed. Position the chair carefully within the mobile clinic so it does not contact nearby walls or equipment. The chair supports a maximum weight of 250 kilograms and should only be used by one person at a time.

Storing, Cleaning, and Powering the Chair
When the chair is not being used, return it to its lowest position to help protect the equipment and preserve the chair over time. Clean it using a cloth, water, and mild neutral soap according to the owner’s manual. Because the chair is powered, make sure the mobile clinic has power available before operating it.
