RISEDALE USER GUIDE 1
Important Safety Instructions
Your Risedale is designed for household use by a single user weighing
less than 300 lb (136 kg). Any other use will void the warranty.
Instructions and recommendations for safe and proper use are outlined
in this User Guide. Read all instructions before using your Risedale.
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
Always unplug the Risedale before cleaning.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or
injury to persons:
1. Unplug from the outlet before putting on or taking off parts
(where applicable).
2. Always unplug your Risedale before retrieving any object that
may have fallen underneath the cushion, or before cleaning.
3. Use your Risedale only for its intended use as described in
these instructions. Do not use attachments not recommended
by Uplift Technologies (the manufacturer).
4. As with any electrical device, do not use your Risedale in or
near water. Never operate your Risedale if it has a damaged
cord or plug, or if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
8. Do not attempt to fix electrical or mechanical problems
yourself. Risedale should only be serviced by a qualified
technician. Contact your dealer for assistance.
9. Do not allow children to play on your Risedale. Continuous
lifting and lowering could damage the lift mechanism.
10. Hold on to the arms of the chair when using your Risedale.
11. Consult your physician if you are taking medication, or have
certain physical limitations that may impair your ability to
te your Risedale in a safe manner.

RISEDALE USER GUIDE2
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Risedale.
Years of engineering, development and testing have gone
into creating your Risedale. Our objective was to bring you
the style of furniture you want with the function you need to
get up without struggle or pain. I think we’ve succeeded with
the Risedale. On top of that, the Risedale does its job
discreetly – no one needs to know the seat lifts, and they
probably won’t notice.
Constructed of sturdy hardwood and upholstered in durable
brocade fabric, your Risedale is a quality piece of furniture you
can be proud to display in your home. Its classic wing chair
design will always be in style.
Your Risedale is backed by our limited lifetime warranty and
our guarantee of satisfaction. Please read this User Guide
carefully for instructions on correct assembly and usage, and
for more detail on warranty and safety tips. Keep this User
Guide for future reference. If you follow the care and use
instructions in this User Guide your Risedale should provide
you with years of trouble-free service.
Please send in your Warranty Registration card today, and
tell us what you think of your new Risedale. If you’d like
to give me your comments personally then please call me at
1-902-422-0804, extension 101.
Yours very truly,
Michael Speraw

Assembly Instructions
Choose a clean area to assemble your Risedale.
After the box is removed, flip the chair over. Save the box
and all packing materials in case you have to return the chair.
Screw in the legs and
tighten with the hex
key provided. We
advise using
the supplied wood
screws to secure
the legs further.
Note: If any leg will
not screw in by hand,
do not force it.
Unscrew the leg,
check for and clean
out any debris in the
threaded hole and
try again.
RISEDALE USER GUIDE 5
Note: The serial
number is on the label
attached to the bottom
of the chair. You may
want to note that now
and write it on your
Warranty Card.
For users shorter
than 5'1" remove
the leg extensions
using the hex
key provided.
Assembly cont’d
Flip the chair upright and unfold
the wings and back.
Note: plastic ear enters the pocket in
the wing.
Lay the chair onto one side, press
down on the wing, push in and then
tighten the wing screw. Repeat for
the other side.
Note: use only the hex key provided to
tighten the wing screws. Using a longer
hex key or ratchet may damage the chair.
The Power Lever may be installed
on the left or right side. To attach,
snap it onto the metal finger. Simply
pull up to remove.
Note: the metal finger can be found
between the cushion and arm.
Do not use both Power Levers at
the same time.
RISEDALE USER GUIDE6
Operating Instructions
After you set up your Risedale, position it in such a way that
no one will trip over the cord, and plug it in the power outlet.
Now, sit in the Risedale. If your
feet are not comfortably flat on the
floor, you may need to remove the
1.5 inch leg extensions (see
Assembly Instructions page 5).
Next, push and hold the Power
Lever with your thumb to rise from
the seated position.
Hold on to the arms of the chair.
To descend to the seated position,
pull and hold the Power Lever with
your index finger. Again, hold on
to the arms of the Risedale.
Note: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, you will notice that the Risedale
has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other), which will only
fit into the outlet one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
Note: The Power Lever will work on your right or left hand side.
When reattaching the lever, press it firmly onto the metal finger.
Warning: Do not install both Power Levers at the same time.
Caution: To retrieve an object that has fallen under the
cushion, first raise the seat cushion up, then unplug the
power cord, and reach under the cushion from either side to
retrieve the object.
RISEDALE USER GUIDE 7
Care and Maintenance
Lifting Mechanism
Your Risedale lifting mechanism has no user serviceable parts
and does not require any routine maintenance. With proper
use and care, the lift mechanism and actuator should give you
years of reliable service.
Contact your dealer or the store you bought your Risedale
from if the lifting mechanism does not function properly.
Note: The Risedale is designed for a single user weighing less than
300 lb (136 kg). Any other use will void the warranty.
Fabric Care
The fabric on your Risedale is made from 53% Acrylic and
47% Polyester.
It is important to keep your Risedale upholstery clean to
ensure longest wear and best appearance. To prevent overall
soil, we recommend frequent vacuuming or light brushing to
remove dust and grime.
Note: Never use a stiff fiber or metal brush that could damage
the upholstery.
Fabric should be cleaned ONLY using water-based cleaning
agents or foam and lukewarm water. The fabric is shrink resistant,
and run resistant, but you should always TEST on a place that
doesn’t show before using any unproven solvent – just in case.
Note: Do not remove the cushion stuffing when cleaning.
For best overall cleaning results, we recommend using a
professional furniture cleaning service.
Note: Do not use dry-cleaning solvents on your Risedale upholstery.
Direct sunlight will fade any fabric. To avoid fading, never
place your Risedale where it is exposed to the sun’s direct rays.
RISEDALE USER GUIDE8
Care and Maintenance cont’d
Stain Removal
Prompt attention to stains and spots is important, as they are
hard to remove if allowed to “set.”
Always proceed with stain cleaning steps in this order:
1. Remove excess of stain
2. Use a water soluble solvent
3. Use a water based detergent
4. Rinse with water
5. Pat dry, or dry with fan or hair dryer set to “cool”
Other Important Details:
• Use only cool or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water since it
often sets stains permanently.
• Rule of thumb: never soak a fabric when cleaning it. Apply
solvents and cleaning solutions as sparingly as possible.
• Work carefully from the edges of the spot toward the center
to avoid enlarging the stain.
• A blotting action is preferable to a rubbing technique for
stain removal. Avoid harsh rubbing.
• Fast drying helps prevent rings.
Note: If the above does not work, or the stain is large and unusual,
you should have it treated by a reputable professional cleaning service.
RISEDALE USER GUIDE 9
Troubleshooting
What if my Risedale does not operate at all when I
push/pull the Power Lever?
First, ensure the lever is firmly installed to the bottom of the
metal finger.
Check that the power cord is plugged firmly into a properly
wired wall outlet.
If the above measures fail, check your circuit breaker box as a
final step before calling your dealer for service.
Where do I find the serial number on my Risedale?
The serial number is clearly marked on a label attached to the
underside of your Risedale.
