Instructions
The following feature description assumes you are standing in
front of the chair, looking into the seat:
Locking Mechanism:
The locking lever is located in the left rear
corner of the chair. It is used to lock the seat in either an upright or
semi-reclined position.
Important:
It’s a friction lock, which
means to lock or unlock, the seat must be in the proper position in
relation to the locking device.
For example, if sitting in the chair in
the upright position, move the seat slightly while at the same time
pulling up on the locking lever. When the seat is properly aligned,
the locking arm will raise approximately two inches, holding the seat
in a fairly secure, but not rigid, upright position. To lock the chair in
a semi-reclined position tilt the chair back approximately 30º, pull up
on the locking lever, move the seat slightly until the locking
mechanism engages.
Caution!
When unlocking the chair from the
reclined position, grasp the backrest firmly and allow the seat to
return to the upright position in a controlled manner.
The
Rock King
has three operating modes that allow the user
to change his position through movement while sitting in the
chair.
Upright Position:
The normal operating mode. The chair can be
either locked or unlocked in this mode, depending on what the user is
doing at the time. For
self-propulsion
or
transport
, however; the
chair should always be in the
locked
position.
Rocking Mode:
With the locking lever in the
down position
, the
chair is in
rocking mode
. Always engage the brakes when in the
rocking mode.
Tilt-In-Space:
Most users will not be able to place the seat in this
position without assistance. It can be done safely with the user in the
chair by following the instructions given in “Locking Mechanism” at
the top of this page.
Important! Use
caution
when
unlocking
to
return the chair to the upright position. The attendant should
place one hand on the back of the chair, moving the seat slightly
as suggested above, while pushing down on the lock lever. When
the locking lever is in the down position, allow the seat to return
to the upright position in a controlled manner. Always engage
brakes while using the Tilt-In-Space mode.

Height Adjustable Seat:
Standard Footrests (R2010F):

Lateral Supports (RY1515C):
The X3000 shown here in the low
position. Seat height from the
floor is approximately 16 inches.
Change position of axle bolt to
raise seat. (Frame shown in
contrasting white for clarity.).
There are four inches of
adjustment available with the
footrest mounted in the lower
mounting bracket on the base of
the chair; more can be achieved
by moving the footrest from the
lower to the upper mounting
bracket.
The RY2012F leg rest is designed
to be articulating (telescoping) to

which occurs when foot plates are
moved out of the way.
Like the cushion, the
lateral supports are
reversible and come
standard when the
chair is ordered as a
“kit”.
