OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RECLINING THE HOME CARE CLINER
The Winco Home Care Cliner chair has three standard recline positions
plus Trendelenburg positioning (When gas spring is engaged with
release handle 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 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.
