OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Set up:
1.
Uncoil the power cable from the back side of the power recliner and plug it into a properly
grounded outlet. Please see the power requirements in the chair specifications section of this
manual.
2.
To fully charge the battery for the first time, the chair must be plugged in for 10 hours. The
battery is charging whenever the chair is plugged in.
3.
Always
set the caster brakes before allowing your occupant to get in or out of the chair.
Release the caster brakes
only
when the chair is being relocated; and reset the caster brakes
upon arriving at your destination. Never assume that the caster brakes have been set; check
to ensure that the caster brakes are engaged before helping anyone in or out of the recliner.
4.
Place the chair in the upright position before allowing the occupant in or out of the chair.
Do
NOT
enter or exit the chair with the leg rest extended. For shorter occupants the foot tray
may be used as an assist to allow easier entry to the chair. Occupants over 225 pounds should
not use the foot tray as a step. Please note and follow the capacity limits of the recliner being
used.
5.
Caster brakes should be locked before using the removable arm top or swing-away arm option.
6.
The removable arm top should be replaced and securely latched as soon as an occupant
transfer has been made.
7.
A swing-away arm should be closed and the arm securely latched as soon as the transfer or
maintenance operation is complete. An occupant should never be transported with the arm
top removed or the swing-away arm opened. Chairs with removable or swing away arms
should never be left unattended when an arm is not secured. Check that the arm is latched by
pulling outward on the arm.
8.
When transporting an occupant, pull the foot tray out to the extended position, and be sure
that the chair is locked in the upright position. Any recliner not equipped with a foot tray is not
considered an appropriate transport chair. Never move recliner while occupant is in seat with
their feet dangling.
