PIVOT-ARM OPERATION
See pictures at right. The FR601 Clinical Care Recliner features two
pivot-arms. The pivot-arms make cleaning the recliner much easier
and more efficient. The pivot-arms are hinged at the back of the
recliner.
WARNING: The pivot-arm Feature is a CAREGIVER OPERATED
FEATURE. A patient MUST NOT attempt operation of the
pivot-arms while seated in the recliner.
Open the Pivot-Arm
WARNING: The caregiver must be positioned on either the left
or right side of the recliner, directly in front of the pivot-arm to
be operated; do not operate the pivot-arm from front or rear of
recliner.
1. Step down on the YELLOW RELEASE LEVER, located toward
the front of the recliner as shown at upper right, to unlock the
pivot-arm on that side.
2. Gently open up the pivot-arm, as shown at lower right, to the
desired degree.
3. Once maintenance or cleaning is complete, return the arm to the
locked position.
Close the Pivot-Arm:
WARNING: The caregiver must be positioned on either the left
or right side of the recliner, directly in front of the pivot-arm to
be operated; do not operate the pivot-arm from front or rear of
recliner.
1. Pivot the Arm back toward the front of the recliner until the pivot-
arm stops. Step down on the YELLOW RELEASE LEVER, located
toward the front of the recliner. Continue to push the pivot-arm
over the locking pin and then step off of the YELLOW RELEASE
LEVER, thereby engaging the locking pin in the arm latch.
2. Pull outward on the arm to ensure the arm is properly locked
before use of the recliner.
WARNING: Recliners have moving parts that create potential pinch points. When the
pivot-arms are open, those points are exposed. DO NOT leave patients in the recliner
unattended with the pivot-arms in the open position. DO NOT leave the recliner unattended
or reclined with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position. DO NOT transport a patient
in the recliner with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position.
WARNING: The pivot-arm MUST NOT be used as a patient or caregiver support while open.
The recliner may tip and become unstable if weight is placed on the pivot-arm when in the
open position.

CAUTION: When opening the pivot-arms, ensure there is nothing in the way of the pivoting
arm. Damage to the vinyl upholstery may result if the pivot-arm impacts any object. The
pivot-arms are best operated when the recliner is in the upright position.
