oneself, there is a risk of unexpected injury such as the body getting caught in the recliner by mistake.

following procedures to limit operation and decrease the chance of injury.
• Disable the operations by the operation disabling settings (see p. 26).

Note that pressing the reset switch enables all operation buttons even when operation has been
disabled using the handheld controller operation disabling switch. There is a risk of injury due to

operate the emergency back-lowering lever, and use the other hand to
support the backrest.

Depending on the weight of the patient sitting in the recliner, and on the angle of the backrest, the
backrest may drop suddenly and there is a risk of injury.

get the backrest to lower. In this case, use the other hand to push down on the backrest.
