Operation of the Tray – 5351 Only
7. The
Tray
automatically locks into the first position; depress the
Latch Button
for 2 more positions.
8. The
Right Tray Arm
is movable to compensate for minor variations in the width of the chair.
9. Storing
the
Tray;
Insert the left tray arm tube into the right tray receiving tube and the
Latch Button
will
lock it into place. Allow the right side of the table to hang down vertically on the right side of chair (Left &
Right; as if you are seated in chair).
10. To make the tray permanently non-locking, remove the
Snap Button
of the
Right Tray Arm
.
Operation of the Chair
There are two ways to operate this chair; Attendant Controlled & User Controlled.
11. The chair comes from the factory set up for Attendant Controlled positioning of the chair. This means the
Release Handle must be actuated by an attendant before positioning of the chair can be changed. By
squeezing the Release Handle – moving the chair to the desired position – and releasing the handle - the
attendant can position the patient in an infinite number of positions.
NOTE: The attendant must also squeeze the handle to allow the patient to be brought back to the standard sitting
position before the patient can get out of the chair safely.
12. The chair can be changed from the Attendant positioning to User Controlled positioning. This means that
the Release Handle must be relocated underneath the left Upholstered Armrest (the instructions on the
following pages will describe how you can make this change to your chair). Once this change is made, the
User can control their own recline position by squeezing the handle under the left Upholstered Arm of the
chair.
NOTE: The attendant can still operate the chair; however, leverage to move the patient will not be as effective as
with the Attendant Controlled positioning option.
Stay clear of the recline mechanism. Periodically recheck tightness
of all screw and bolts, and never use the tray as a restraint.
Maintenance of the Chair
13. To ensure proper operation of the reclining mechanism, lubricate all pivot points with a silicone lubricant at
least twice yearly.
14. The back cushion can be replaced by opening the “Hook & Loop” flap on the lower rear of the back cushion,
removing the Push Handle, and sliding it off of the
Back Frame
.
15. The seat/legrest cushion can be replaced by removing the (2) seat hold-down slat screws (attaching the
underside-rear of the seat cushion to the chair frame) then slide the cushion off toward front of chair.
Optional 5-inch Caster Placement
16. The casters on this 5351-5361 chair, can be configured one of two ways; Rigid casters in front & Total Lock
casters on rear or vice versa.
If you wish your chair to have casters in opposite configuration, please follow below instructions.
a) Lay chair on side on carpeted surface. Use a Phillips screwdriver and 7/16” wrench to remove the 1/4” bolt
& nut from chair legs.
b) Remove bolts and casters. IMPORTANT: Be sure to also remove the plastic Caster Insert Sleeve from
chair leg. This piece must be repositioned so that the bolts line up with slot on Insert Sleeve when caster is
re-inserted into chair leg.
c) Re-insert casters into chair legs. (Follow IMPORTANT note in above step)
d) Insert bolts and nuts; tighten all with screwdriver and wrench.
