CASTERS
WARNING: Casters must be locked at all times, except during transport.
The Lumex Ortho-Biotic II Recliner features the latest
design, all-plastic casters from TENTE. Specifically
designed for use in healthcare environments, these
casters are easier to clean, easier to move, and tolerate
a wide array of cleaners and chemicals. Each caster is
made from high-grade synthetic materials and features
a double-ball-bearing swivel head. The wheel center is
made of polypropylene and the tire tread of TENTEprene
(thermoplastic rubber). The gray non-marking tires feature
precision ball bearings.
Locking casters:
Each Lumex Ortho-Biotic II Recliner
features three total locking casters, identified by black
actuator tabs, that lock both the wheel and the swivel.
To activate the total lock, simply press down on the BLACK actuator tab until it locks. To release
the total lock, press on the raised portion of the actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal
operating position.
Directional (swivel) caster:
The fourth caster, located on the right rear position of the recliner, is
a directional (swivel) locking caster only. Identified by a green actuator tab, the directional lock
caster will lock in one of two 180° positions relative to the frame (forward and backward) and
allows the recliner to track straight when pushed. To activate the directional lock, simply press
down on the GREEN actuator tab until it locks — you may need to move the recliner slightly until
the caster locks in a straight line with the recliner frame. To release the directional lock, press on
the raised portion of the actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal operating position.
RECLINER OPERATION
The Lumex Ortho-Biotic II Recliner Series FR597 features a unitized recliner mechanism that
allows independent adjustment of the legrest and back for patient comfort. The easy-access
Trendelenburg (Shock) Position pedal on the RIGHT SIDE of the recliner allows quick activation by
the caregiver.
Info: Trendelenburg (Shock) position can only be activated by a caregiver; Trendelenburg
Position CANNOT be activated by a patient while in the recliner.
