TRENDELENBURG OPTION
We recommend that health care professionals who will be using this chair become thoroughly
acquainted with the recliner and the Trendelenburg option prior to its use with an occupant.
CAUTION: The Trendelenburg release lever must be fully actuated and held for the
option to operate properly.
Actuate Trendelenburg:

Follow the previous section on operating instructions to place the chair into the full
recline position.
2.
Locate the Trendelenburg actuator release lever on the chair back.
3.
Grasp the push handle,
pull and hold
the Trendelenburg release lever. Lower the
back and occupant into Trendelenburg position. Release the lever to lock the chair
back in position. Should you choose to place the chair in a position short of full
Trendelenburg, stop the chair back at the desired position and release the actuator
while on the way down.
4.
Once the chair back has started to lower a safety limit switch will be activated and
the powered recline features of the chair will
NOT
function. This is a safety feature
to prevent damage to the chair.
CAUTION: The Trendelenburg release lever must be fully actuated and held for the
option to operate properly.
Return from Trendelenburg:

Pull and hold
the Trendelenburg actuator release lever as you lift the chair back to
the full recline position. Release the actuator to lock the back in position.

The chair may now be actuated into any of the standard chair positions according
to the operating instruction.
NOTE: If the remote does not function after bringing the chair out of Trendelenburg
repeat the process for returning from Trendelenburg to make sure the back is all the
way up.
