RECLINER OPERATION, ALL MODELS
The Lumex Series FR566G / FR566DG recliners feature three positions for patient comfort. The
fourth position is a Trendelenburg (or Shock) Position that must be activated by a caregiver. The
Trendelenburg Position CANNOT be activated by a patient while in the recliner. In addition, this
recliner features a back that can be repositioned via the Adjustment Lever located on the Push
Handle on the back of the recliner.
First Position
The first position is the Upright Position. This position is
ideal for patient transport and can be used to initiate patient
treatment / therapy.
Second Position
The second position is the first recline position and is also
known as TV position. This position is ideal for patient
treatment, rest and reading.

• Reclining by patient: place hands on armrests and push body
against recliner back to recline yourself to desired position.
To bring yourself up, place hands on armrests and pull
yourself up while leaning your body forward, away from the
recliner back, while at the same time pushing down evenly on
the footrest with your legs.
• Reclining by caregiver: standing on either side of the recliner,
grasp the armrest with one hand and push handle with the
other hand. Push back on push handle to recline. To return,
grasp push handle and pull forward to raise the recliner back.
s
NOTICE: DO NOT use the footrest by itself to return the recliner to an upright position
