RECLINER OPERATION
The Lumex Series FR565WG Preferred
Care Recliners feature an infinite
position mechanism, meaning there
are no stops as are found on traditional
recliner mechanisms. In addition, there
is a caregiver position lock handle
located on the back of the recliner that
allows the caregiver to lock the recliner
in any position as well as to adjust the
tension on the reclining mechanism.
This lock can only be activated by the
caregiver. It is not a patient activated
feature.
Operation of the Recline
Mechanism
•
By the patient:
Place hands on
armrest and push body against
recliner's back to recline yourself to
desired position. To bring yourself
up, place hands on armrest and pull
yourself up while leaning your body
forward away from the recliner back
while at the same time pushing
down evenly on the footrest with
your legs.
•
Reclining by attendant:
Standing
on either side of the recliner, grasp
the armrest with one hand and
push back on the recliner’s back
