Chassis and placement of feet The feet are placed one on either side, see foot markings on base plate. The user’s weight must be centred on the product’s support surface (all weight between the wheels); i.e., the user must be in a standing position. The user’s weight must not be outside of the support surface.
Brakes
Lower-leg support Adjust the lower-leg support so that the upper edge of the plate is about 3 cm/two fingers below the lower edge of the kneecaps. Pull the two pins to loosen. Adjust to the appropriate height. Ensure that the pins lock securely into place. The lower-leg support can also be adjusted laterally.
Testing standing function ReTurn is ideal for testing a user’s standing function in cases where there is uncertainty as to whether the user is able to rise from a seated
There is a brake for each wheel. With your foot, press down on the red marking on the brake plate. Press all the way down. To release the brake, press on the brake plate so that it resumes its original position (green marking); ensure that the wheels roll freely.

the chair.
Transfers
Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run the ReTurn in towards the wheelchair. The user places his/her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then lifts from the seat. The caregiver provides counter pressure. Slide the user farther back in the chair when he/she has lifted slightly from the seat.
Bed to wheelchair Place the wheelchair at some distance from the bed to allow enough working space. Lock the wheelchair wheels. Place the user’s feet on the base plate. The user grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then raises himself/herself. Pull the ReTurn back somewhat, and then steer in towards the wheelchair. Position the ReTurn close enough to enable good placement in the wheelchair. The caregiver applies counter pressure before the user sits down. 4

Using ReTurnBelt together with ReTurn7600 See manual for ReTurnBelt. ReTurnBelt is used for raising from a seated to a standing position, and for support in the standing position in combination with the use of ReTurn transfer platform. ReTurnBelt has a more rigid lower section for easy application and an elastic upper section for a better and more comfortable fit. ReTurnBelt has several gripping alternatives and a locking strap for extra support and safety in connection with the use of the ReTurn platform.

provides support during raising.
When it is necessary to attach ReTurnBelt to ReTurn7600 Do not secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt before rising. When the user is in a standing position facing the ReTurn, the strap can be placed around one of the vertical handles. Secure the clasp on the ReTurnBelt. A click is heard when the clasp is secured. Now, transfer the user with ReTurn. Plan carefully to ensure that the transfer is as short as possible.
Sitting down Brake the wheels on the ReTurn. Ensure that the user is standing in a secure position facing the ReTurn, so that the locking strap is loosened. Undo the clasp and remove the strap from the ReTurn. Fold it under the edge of the belt, so that it does not catch on anything. Help the user into a seated position with the help of the ReTurnBelt.
To toilet/shower chair For transfers to the toilet, space is allowed for the caregiver to assist the user with the pants. The back also has a small recess that allows the user to get close to the toilet and achieve a good seated position.
