It is essential that you locate the chair correctly to ensure that all of the features work properly:
• Always ensure that there is enough space to recline fully and freely. There should be no objects
behind the chair that obstruct its movement and the back should never touch the wall.
• The leg rest should be able to move fully and freely with no objects to restrict this movement.
• Position the chair free from any trailing wires.
• Ensure the chair is within easy reach of a power point to charge or recharge the battery system.
Important notes –
• Obstructions may cause damage to the chair and its mechanism and
will invalidate your
warranty
.
•
The wallhugger mechanism
is designed for rooms with limited space and has a space saving
movement enabling the recline to operate with a clearance of only 6" between the back of the
chair and the wall.
The transformer (see page 10 for detailed instructions) should be connected to the chair on set up.
If not, connect it and then plug it into the power source to enable the chair to work. If you have
purchased an Accupak battery system, please read the operational instructions before use.
Important note –
The chair is safe when the power source is left on.
All Repose chairs have an overall and leg rest weight limits which should never be exceeded as this
