OM00REC Recliner Manual REV 8 080119
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT overload chair. Observe the specified maximum weight limit
for the recliner model that you have selected.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to force the chair into position; permanent damage
may result. The chair works with normal effort when operated properly.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to close leg rest unless the chair is in “TV” position;
(seat all the way in and back upright).
CAUTION: DO NOT use Trendelenburg lever to recline the chair. Always return
chair to “TV position” after using Trendelenburg. Failure to do so may not allow back
to be put into the Trendelenburg position when needed.
WARNING: Keep hands, feet and legs clear of the recline mechanism.
Actuation of the recline and Trendelenburg device by staff
In the event that a chair is not in full recline, and the chair occupant’s condition makes them
unable to assist the staff in movement of the chair from one position to another; we suggest the
following:
1.
To move the chair from full upright position to TV position, stand facing the side of the chair
with the mechanism actuator, pull and hold the actuator while raising the foot rest to reach the
“TV” position. To raise the foot rest grasp in the center on a long side well away from the
recliner’s scissor mechanism.
2.
Turn and face the chair occupant, grasp the leg rest on the long side, at the edge toward the
patient, near the middle well away from the recliner’s scissor mechanism. Pull up and back to
move the chair to full recline position
or simply place your hand on the back pillow and
push downward to move to full recline position
.
3.
Move to the back or turn to the side of the chair and actuate the Trendelenburg option
according to the aforementioned directions. You may push on the back as you pull and hold
the Trendelenburg actuator to move the chair rapidly to full Trendelenburg.
