3. POSITIONING YOUR CHAIR
If you wish to move the chair for cleaning or for a more comfortable position, please
follow the instructions below. Remember to position a telephone within reach so you
can call for help in an emergency.
Make sure there is enough space behind the headrest for it to fully recline.
If the backrest hits an object such as a wall it will damage the mechanism.
Beware of trip hazard when positioning the power lead. A lead protector should
be used where it is exposed.
Level the chair by adjusting the feet.
If the pile of the carpet is thick ensure that the footrest does not catch on the
carpet. If it does, raise the chair by using the foot adjusters.
Before using your chair ensure that the cable appears undamaged and it does not
pose a trip hazard.
Ensure all cables are clear of the mechanism and that the chair isn’t situated
on top of any cables prior to use.
4. GETTING SEATED
Before you operate the controls, ensure that children and pets will not be trapped,
and that the chair is not obstructed in any way.
Stand close to the chair – press the UP/RISE button on the remote control and
raise the chair to a comfortable height.
Position yourself in the centre of the chair, ensure you are stable then reach
back until you feel both armrests. Then lower yourself into the seat.
Once you are supported by the chair, press the DOWN/LOWER button and
lower yourself to a sitting position. When the chair has stopped moving release the
button.
Warning! Always ensure that the castors (if tted) are in the correct position before
getting in or out of the chair.
Warning! When the chair is in the raised position, do not drop heavily onto it but
lower yourself gently. A severe impact could damage the mechanism.
