Battery Backup Transformers and Electronic Components
Some lift chair transformers are equipped with a dual 9v battery backup feature that will allow the chair to
return to a normal seated position a single time in the event of a power outage.
The battery back-up is intended to return a reclined chair to a seated position one time during a power outage.
For the models equipped with a battery back-up transformer, the batteries (not included) must be installed into
the transformer.
For these transformers to work properly during an outage it is imperative that the 9v batteries be fresh and
unused. Heavy Duty or industrial strength batteries are recommended. Replace these batteries after any power
outage or every 3-6 months to ensure that the batteries have enough charge to cycle the chair.
Keep all electronic components free of moisture to prevent damage. These electronic components include but
are not limited to: Motors, hand wands, button controls, junction boxes, heating pads, and all wires.
Assembly
Your product may require assembly or disassembly before use or service. This Catnapper lift chair has a
removable “Knock Down” back frame known as a “KD” backs. The KD backs use metal slide brackets with a
locking tab to attach the back frame to the mechanism.
To attach a KD back, simply line up the KD brackets on the back frame with the mechanism and press firmly
down until both sides click. You must hear an audible clicking sound to ensure the back is properly locked in
place. Once the back is locked into place, secure the back cover to the Hook and Loop fastener (Velcro) on the
bottom of the chair.
If you are experiencing difficulty attaching the back frame be sure to visually inspect the KD brackets and locking
tabs to ensure they are in the correct position.

lift frame or mechanism.
