GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CHAIRS
WARNING: Place chair in a fully upright and securely latched position or a fully
reclined position when cleaning or maintaining your chair. Your recliner has moving
parts that create pinch points. This chair moves easily without a occupant in the chair
and may create pinch points when not in these positions.
WARNING: You should NEVER clean or maintain your recliner with an occupant in
the chair.
The occupant is able to control the chair’s position and may move the chair
position unexpectedly, creating pinch points.
CAUTION: Occupants who wear or use new unwashed articles of clothing may
create a permanent fabric dye stain on the vinyl surface of the chair. This is beyond
our control and may not be covered by your warranty.
It is not necessary or recommended that moving parts of the chair be lubricated. Keeping the chair
clean is the main maintenance requirement.
It is recommended that the underside of the chair be checked periodically for waste materials that
have fallen under the chair.
The ease with which your recliner operates is controlled by the recline mechanism of your chair.
The actuation setting from the factory is not adjustable.
If a part becomes worn or broken, see the sections entitled service and warranty for information.
Periodically, check that the hinge fasteners, latch mount, release mount and back mount fasteners
are secure. (How often depends on the amount of use the option receives. We suggest monthly,
and then tailor to your findings.)
The top of each latch mount has plastic buttons that are designed wear points. Check the buttons
and replace when worn to prevent damage to the arm’s vinyl covers. Again, we suggest periodic
checks that are then tailored to your findings. (How often depends on the amount of use the
option receives. We suggest monthly, and then tailor to your findings.)
Periodically, check the back mount brackets to verify they are securely latched in place. This can
be done by pulling upward on the back. The back should not freely pull upwards off of the recline
mechanism. If it does not latch into place, discontinued the use of the chair and contact
