In-Service Information

It is very important to Champion that our customers review all the materials in the in-service
package they receive.

By reviewing the in-service materials provided, you increase the useful life of the products by
helping to prevent their improper use, which may lead to premature damage and wear. You are
also helping to validate your warranty, as warranties cover material and workmanship failures, not
misuse or abuse. Use these in-service tools for new employees and as a “refresher” for current
employees.

The following resources are available for you to assist your staff and patients in operating the chairs
properly.

RECEIVING NEW CHAIRS

CAUTION: New chair inspection must be done by someone who has read and
understands the instruction pages. Improper operation of the chair may damage the
chair and void your warranty.

CAUTION: Before plugging chair into wall outlet, it should be checked for condensation on the

electrical components and dried if necessary. The chair should reach room temperature prior to
plugging it in.

New chair inspection

1. Remove all packing material including foam wrap and poly bag. If desired, the bag may
be replaced after examination.

2. Examine chair surfaces for damage.

New chair assembly

1. Verify the handset connection plug is appropriately inserted into the receptacle suitable on
the electronic box found under the seat. (Figure 1)

Before switching the chair on, it should be checked whether condensation
(possible with a temperature change) is present on the electrical components.
If there is precipitation, then the chair has to be allowed to reach room
temperature.

The control box does not work without closing plugs that should be connected
tightly into the proper socket on the left side (Figure 1)

Attaching the upholstery:

1. Using the handset, adjust the chair so the leg rest is in line with the seat plate and the
backrest is vertical (Figure 2). This is the easiest position in which to attach the
upholstery.

2. Pull the two straps on the back of the upholstery onto the frame (Figure 3, Figure 4).

Figure 4

3. With the velcro straps found on the two sides of the sitting part of the upholstery,
secure the upholstery to the frame (Figure 5).
