Operating Instructions
Reclining the Care Cliner
All Winco 6 Series chairs have three standard recline positions
plus Trendelenburg positioning on select models (When gas
spring is engaged with release handles from third recline
position).
1.
From the #1 (SEATED UPRIGHT) position, grip the arm rests and
simultaneously lean body weight back. Push rearward with your
arms until desired recline position #2 (TV) or #3 (RECLINE) is
reached
(FIG. 1).
NOTE:
The footrest will simultaneously elevate.
2. An attendant can also recline the chair to position #2 or #3 by
simply grasping the armrest with one hand AND the top of the
chair back with the other, and then pushing or pulling back on the
back of the chair
(FIG. 2).
NOTE:
This applies ONLY to positions #2 and #3, and
NOT
engaging the gas spring for trendelenburg.
3. TRENDELENBURG POSITIONING MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED
BY A TRAINED ATTENDANT.
While occupant is in the chair,
place the chair into the fully reclined position (#3). The gas spring
MUST
be engaged by squeezing the release handle at the top of
the backrest
(FIG. 3 & 4).
4. After each use of trendelenburg, return the chair back to regular
positioning by squeezing the release handle and lifting up until
chair back is fully upright.
DO NOT FORCE
the back of the chair downward without
squeezing the release handle. This will damage the chair. The
chair back will stay in trendelenburg position when pressure is
removed from the release handle. Chair back movement can be
stopped at any time by simply removing pressure on the handle.
I
MPORTANT:
Attendant must return the chair back to the full
upright position after each use, before the patient exits the chair
and before another patient enters chair.
NOTE:
If the chair back does not recline when the release bar
is squeezed, or does not remain in correct recline position
when the release handle is released, cable tension may need to
be adjusted. Refer to Adjusting the Gas Spring on page 15.
DO NOT
use the chair if the trendelenburg position is not
functioning properly.
NEVER
Push or pull footrest to position chair recline
angle.
NEVER
Stand or sit on the foot rest or leg rest.
NEVER
Place hands, legs, or feet under seat, leg rest, or
foot rest. Stay clear of recline mechanism.
