In addition to the required regulatory approvals, Power Seats, the Risedale and the Uplift Commode Assist have all passed the strict testing of the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Commendation program.  These products are recognized for their arthritis-friendly design.

1. The seat-only lift and LeveLift technology curves the seat to a flat surface throughout the lift keeping the user on a level plane, up and down.  Users are raised, but not ‘dumped out’ of their chairs.
   
   
2. Seat-only lift provides more design flexibility making them easy to adapt to the needs and lifestyle of the user with:
   
   
   • Portable and stationary versions
   • Electric or manual models
   • Lift assistance as needed, up to 100% of body weight (up to 300 lbs)
   • Compact designs for use in small locations
   • A discreet option
     
     
3. While not replacements for lift chairs, Lifting Seats are more affordable for those on a budget or who need an extra lifting product for other locations.
   
   
4. Generally, Lifting Seats are not an appropriate substitution for someone who needs a lift chair (i.e. will sit for extended periods of time, needs a chair to nap in, etc.)

• Check that the power cord is plugged firmly into a properly wired wall outlet.
• For Premium Power Lifting Seats, also check that the safety key, located on the bottom of the unit, is fully inserted into the slot.
• If the above measure fails, check your circuit breaker box as a final step before concluding there is a problem with the product.

Periodically, you should visually inspect the power cord for any cracks or wear.  If a problem is discovered with any component of the electrical system, contact your authorized Uplift Premium Power Lifting Seat dealer immediately.

Lifting Seats include a machine washable, waterproof cover and the cushions are coated with a water resistant covering for easy care.  

For proper care, please follow these instructions:

Wipe up any spills on cover immediately.

• Remove the cover for washing or to clean the foam cushion surface.
• Machine-wash your cover in cold water and hang to dry.
• Wipe down the foam cushion surface with a damp sponge. (We recommend using mild cleaners and detergents.)

The Uplift Power Seat includes two levers for your convenience, but only one is required to operate your Power Seat. Put your second lever on the side you prefer and you are ready to go. Just contact us if you need to purchase additional levers or seat covers.

The Seat Assist uses a hydro-pneumatic gas spring that dampens the sitting motion and captures the energy created as you move to the seated position.   Below are the common methods to activate your Seat Assist gas piston.

• You may need to sit further back on your lifting seat. Sit on the flat part at the back of the cushion, and straighten yourself into a sitting position.  If you perch on the front, slanted part of the cushion your weight will not be distributed properly for the seat to go down.
• When new or if unused for some time, the gas spring may become stiff and you may need to “prime” it to get it moving.  To do this, set the gas spring into the lowest weight setting and sit on your Seat Assist several times until it moves freely.

The weight setting may be too high for your weight. The weight settings are guidelines and you may simply need to set the weight one notch lower or higher than your weight range to get it right.

The Risedale is a seat-only lifting chair with three benefits:

1. Only the seat moves, and with LeveLift technology curving the seat to a flat surface, the Risedale does not ‘dump’ the user out.


2. Seat-only lift means the Risedale can fit in small spaces, against walls or in corners.


3. Since only the seat moves, more chair styles are possible that include a Lifting Seat – more design options that don’t look medical and fit into most decors.
