CASTERS
WARNING: Casters must be locked at all times
EXCEPT during transport.
All Lumex Clinical Care Recliners now feature the latest
design, all-plastic casters from TENTE, shown at right.
Specifically designed for use in healthcare environments,
the new casters are easier to clean, easier to move, and
tolerate a wide array of cleaners and chemicals. Each
caster is made from high-grade synthetic materials and
features a double-ball bearing swivel head. The wheel
center is made of polypropylene and the tire tread of
TENTEprene (thermoplastic rubber). The gray non-marking tires feature precision ball bearings.
Models FR601P / FR601PH / FR601PHO / FR601U / FR601UH / FR601UHO
Locking casters:
These models feature three total locking casters, identified by black actuator
tabs that lock both the wheel and the swivel. To activate the total lock, press down on the BLACK
actuator tab until it locks. To release the total lock, press on the raised portion of the actuator tab
until the lever is back in the normal operating position.
Directional (swivel) caster:
The fourth caster
only
, located on the right rear position of the
recliner, is a directional (swivel) locking caster, identified by a green actuator tab. The directional
lock caster locks in one of two 180-degree positions relative to the frame (forward and backward)
and allows the recliner to track straight when pushed. To activate the directional lock, press down
on the GREEN actuator tab until it locks — you may need to move the recliner slightly until the
caster locks in a straight line with the recliner frame. To release the directional lock, press on the
raised portion of the actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal operating position.
