TENTE® CASTERS
. WARNING:.Casters.must.be.locked.at.all.times,.except.during.transport.
All Lumex Preferred Care Recliners now feature
the latest design, all-plastic casters from TENTE.
Specifically designed for use in healthcare
environments, the new 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-ballbearing 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 Preferred Care
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-degree 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.
