  • CHEST SUPPORT ATTACHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Remove tray and put aluminum post connector on top of frame between the kneepads. The tube faces the front. Using one of the bolts and a nylon lock nut, tighten one side only.
    2. Take the L-shaped anti-flip clip and position in front of the opposite hole with the short red end facing down and to the front. There are two holes in the clip, one for 2” casters and one for 3” casters. Use the hole that will position the clip 1/4” from the floor. Using the remaining bolt and nut, tighten in position. Replace tray. This will prevent the RACATAC from tipping over frontwards.
    3. Take the 12” steel post with snap button facing down and position into the tube into one of the hole settings.
    4. 4. Take the chest support cushion, loosen the adjustment screw and place the clamp over the post with the round part of the clamp facing the front. The cushion can be adjusted forwards and backwards on the rail, tilted at an angle and slid up and down the post. Adjust to your comfort and tighten adjustment screw. There are also 4 adjustments on the tube.

    ADJUSTING CHEST SUPPORT FOR FLOORING OR OTHER JOBS WORKING ON FLAT SURFACES
    1. Adjust the seat a little higher than you would without the chest support.
    2. Set the chest support post in the tube at the lowest setting to start.
    3. Loosen adjustment screw clamp to make the adjustments.
    4. Slide the clamp onto the post and lower it down to about a 1” away from the top of the post with the beveled part of the cushion facing towards you.
    5. Slide the chest support on the rail back towards you until about 2” away from you with round part of the clamp facing towards the front.
    6. Position the chest support parallel with the floor, then tighten the clamp.
    7. While sitting on the seat, lean over and put both hands flat on the floor in front of the kneepads about one foot away, make sure the seat is comfortable.
    8. Adjust the height of the cushion with the tube settings so that as you are sitting/ leaning over, the chest support is just touching your chest slightly.
    9. If needed, loosen adjustment screw and slide the cushion more to the front until you are comfortable. If needed, you may want to tilt in up just a little.
    IMPORTANT – FLOORING INSTALLERS -You do not want to set the cushion too high. Set it at a height so that it just touches your chest as you are sitting and leaning over. This will enable you easy movement, while still getting support when needed.You want to lean into the cushion for support.You don’t want the cushion pushing you up. As you use it, make the adjustments that work for you.You may also cut the length of the chest support post to adjust it even lower, if needed.


    OTHER CHEST SUPPORT POSITIONS THAT APPLY IN DIFFERENT JOB APPLICATIONS

    ORDER THE LONGER 16" POST IF USED MOSTLY IN A SITTING UPRIGHT POSITION
    1. Adjust the chest support to a height and an angle that creates a comfortable working position. Great for auto touchups, buffing, welding, etc.
    USE AS AN ARMREST WHEN YOU NEED STABILITY AND CONTROL
    1. Turn the chest support in a horizontal position and set it at a height that is comfortable. This position works well also in a one knee up crouched position. .
