RECLINER OPERATION, ALL MODELS
The Lumex Series FR566G / FR566DG / FR566GH / FR566DGH recliners feature three
positions for patient comfort. The fourth position is a Trendelenburg (or Shock Position)
that must be activated by a caregiver. The Trendelenburg Position CANNOT be activated
by a patient while in the recliner. In addition, this recliner features a back that can be
repositioned via the Adjustment Lever located on the Push Handle on the back of the
recliner.
First Position
The first position is the Upright Position. This position
is ideal for patient transport and can be used to initiate
patient treatment / therapy.
Second Position
The second position is the first recline position and is also
known as TV position. This position is ideal for patient
treatment, rest and reading.

push body against recliner back to recline yourself to
desired position. To bring yourself up, place hands on
armrests 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
handle with the other hand. Push back on push handle
to recline. To return, grasp push handle and pull forward to raise the recliner back.
