Pool Chair
This will be covered over pages 44 - 47

(Whilst you would not take charge in using the pool chair, you
may be asked to assist the person who is authorised to
operate the pool chair) !!!
To use the pool chair, first the handler places the bolts into the
aligned slots on the floor and turns them clockwise as shown in
picture 1.
Then as shown here in picture 2, wheel the chair over to these bolts
and manoeuvre the chair so that the floor bolts come behind the
wheels of the chair. As you zoom into picture 3 and 4 you can then
see that after clicking the bolts into place, this allows for the chair to
be tilted towards the pool and secured into place.
Note also in picture 4 that as the chair is secured to the pool there
are extra suction supports which the handler inside the pool can
check are secured to the tiles.
