GENERAL MAINTENANCE

ADJUSTING GAS SPRING

NOTE:  Tension or "ease of movement" of the gas spring is set by factory and cannot be 

changed.

1. 

Using 2 people (RECOMMENDED), tilt the chair over onto the Left side

     and locate the Gas Spring 

(FIG. 1)

. Loosen the 11/16" hex nut on the

     Gas Spring located near the bottom-front of the chair.  

(FIG.2)

2. On the opposite end of Gas Spring, remove the Bow-Tie

    Cotter Pin and Clevis Pin - (save the 2 plastic Clevis Pin bushings)

    

(FIG.3)

 Gas Spring can now be rotated for adjustment. 

3. If Back of chair will not recline when "back release handles" are lifted

    then you will need to Rotate the Gas Spring as shown, clockwise, one

    half (1/2) of a revolution (or 180 degrees) - see 

(FIG. 4A). 

If Back of

    chair reclines without lifting handles; then you will need to Rotate Gas

    Spring as shown, counter-clockwise, one-half (1/2) of a revolution 

    (or 180 degrees).  

(FIG. 4B)

4. Once you make an adjustment; Replace Clevis Pin, plastic bushings
    and Bow-Tie Cotter Pin.  Pull up on the Back Adjustment Handle to
    check for proper adjustment. Repeat above steps as needed until 
    correct release action is achieved. Then TIGHTEN HEX NUT (that you
    loosened in step 1) once the Gas Spring is adjusted properly.

~Make sure all bow tie cotter pins are securely inserted in all clevis pins 
and that cable end is attached through slot of Operator. 

~Failure to securely insert the bow tie cotter pins into the clevis pin 
could cause the clevis pins to fall out and result in injury, or damage to 
the chair.

GENERAL CARE & CLEANING

Remove hair & body oils; Your recliner should be cleaned with mild soap & water solution and a damp cloth on a regular 
basis (especially where skin & hair make contact with upholstery).  Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals that could 
damage the upholstery or finish of your recliner. If the recliner is disenfected, the chair MUST be wiped off with ONLY 
clean water on a damp cloth.

Note: Disinfectants alone, will not provide adequate "grease or oil cutting" properties to remove hair & skin oils. Over 
time, the appearance and feel of your upholstery may diminish if not cleaned 
properly.

Please refer to the 

PERMABLOK

 instruction tag that is attached to your Care Cliner for complete care and cleaning 

instructions.  

Retain information on tag for future use.
