OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Swing Arm Operation:
Warning: Your recliner has moving parts that create pinch points. When the swing
arm is open, those points are fully exposed. Occupants should NEVER be left in the
chair with the arm in the opened position. The chair should NOT be left unattended
with the arm unlatched.
Caution: Be aware of the path the arm is taking. Swinging the arm into objects may
result in vinyl damage. It is recommended that opening the arm be done with the
chair in the fully upright or fully reclined positions. If the arm on your chair is
equipped with a fold-down table, relocate the items on the table top and fold the table
down prior to opening the arm.
The left side swing arm is hinged at the rear to allow the arm to be opened. To do this, standing
at the side of the chair, grasp the release handle and lift to release, and swing the arm open.
Once a occupant transfer or maintenance is complete, the arm should be returned to the locked
position. To do this, swing the arm back toward the front of the chair until you hear the “click” of
the release handle being secured by the latch; pull outward on the arm to ensure the arm is
securely latched. It may be necessary to lift slightly to move the arm into position for the handle
to latch.
