How to Use a Seat Assist Chair Lift

A seat assist chair lift is a device used to help those unable to stand up on their own from a seated position. A seat assist chair lift uses a hydraulic lifting mechanism that takes the weight off of the joints and muscles in the legs. Seat assist chair lifts can be used on chairs, couches, beds and floors to provide an easier and more comfortable range of motion.

Instructions

• 1

  Adjust and set the weight setting located underneath the seat cushion. Hold the chair lift in a vertical position, then push down on the seat cushion to lock the seat into place to make room for you to reach the weight settings. Place the lifting pin in the slot for your correct weight.

• 2

  Position the seat assist chair lift where you will be sitting and let the lip of the seat lay off the edge of the chair, couch or bed.

• 3

  Support and balance yourself using your arms and hands to hold onto something steady.

• 4

  Slowly lean back against the seat assist chair lift cushion. The hydraulic mechanism applies resistance against your body weight, allowing you to sit down comfortably and safely.

• 5

  Slowly stand up with the assistance of the chair lift. Gently lean forward and use your arms and hands to support your balance. The hydraulic lifting mechanism pushes the seat up, taking the weight off your legs.
