•
WARNING:
The caregiver should assess the user’s abilities, weight and physical condition to
determine the sufficient degree of recline.

Ensure the user’s arms and hands are inside the chair frame and clear of all pinch
points before adjusting the tilt angle.
Recline Operation
The backrest angle can be reclined from 95 to 125 degrees. In order to recline the chair:
• Before reclining, the caregiver should ensure the chair is in a slight tilt position to prevent the user
from sliding out while reclining.
• Locate the recline mechanism handle. The handle is located at the rear of the chair, on the left
push bar, marked with a “RECLINE” label
(Figure 4).
• Squeeze the handle and move the backrest to the desired angle of recline.
• Once the desired angle has been achieved, release the handle to lock the position in place.
Headrest Adjustment
The height of the headrest is adjustable. To adjust the headrest:
• Unbuckle the fastening strap, and raise or lower the headrest.
• When the desired position is achieved, reattach the fastening strap with the buckle at the rear of
the chair.
