WARNING: Caregivers or others operating the product or moving the occupant
must be aware of the location of the occupant
’s hands and feet. Caregivers must
confirm that the occupants extremities are safely located before moving the chair from
position to position, moving the chair from place to place, or moving the occupant from
the chair.
WARNING: DO NOT overload chair. Observe the specified maximum weight
capacity for the chair model that you have selected.
WARNING: Occupant should always enter and exit the chair in the upright position.
The occupant should never enter or exit the chair with the leg rest up. Occupants
should never “straddle” the extended leg rest or dangle their legs over the sides of the
extended leg rest.
WARNING: Always return the chair to full recline position after using
Trendelenburg.
WARNING: NEVER place your hands near or on the recline mechanism when it is in
motion. DO NOT put your hands where you cannot see.
WARNING: Verify that all casters are locked before the occupant enters or exits
the recliner.
CAUTION: The push handle is not designed to be used to raise the front or rear
casters off the floor when there is an occupant in the chair; doing so may cause
damage to the chair.
CAUTION: The chair works with very little effort when operated correctly. DO NOT
use excessive force to move the recliner to any position. Doing so could result in
permanent damage to the recliner.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to close the chair’s leg rest while in the full recline
position. Doing so may damage the rec
line mechanism. Return the chair to the “TV”
position before closing the leg rest.
Note:
The Continuum recliner assumes three distinct recline positions: Upright position; leg rest
is down and the back is in its most vertical position, “TV” position;
leg rest is up and the back is
somewhat reclined. Recline position; the leg rest is up and the back is reclined in a preferred
location (the back can be reclined from any position from the “upright” to a “flat” position
).
