PERSONAL SAFETY
Please follow the safety guidelines below to ensure that you get the best from your armchair for many years to come.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in injury or damage:
• Take your key. The handset comes with a key jack. It is recommended that you remove the key when you are not
using the armchair to prevent anybody else using the armchair and becoming trapped. The key should also be
removed when the user is sat in the chair but the chair is not moving.
• Just one at a time. Ensure that only one person uses the armchair at a time.
• Footrests are for feet. Ensure that nobody sits or puts their entire body weight on the elevated footrest as this could
result in injury and/or damage
• Watch for walls. Ensure that the armchair is out of range from walls and furniture when operating to avoid damage
to upholstery and décor.
• Stop Child. Ensure that all children and pets are supervised when around the armchair. Do not allow children to use
the handcontrol, and that all visitors are aware of the potential trapping hazards from mechanisms.
• Be careful of any mechanisms. The elevating leg rest uses a lifting and lowering mechanism. Please ensure that no
body parts or clothing, blankets, etc are caught in the mechanism when operating.
• Practice makes perfect. In certain circumstances or with some medical conditions the user needs to practice using
the rise recline armchair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant may be a care professional or a
family member who has been trained in assisting a rise recline armchair user with daily activities.
• Weight Limit. Observe and do not exceed the weight limits on the armchair.
• Battery backup. Ensure that the battery backup is replaced every year or when the battery backup is used in the
event of a power cut. See the section on Installation Instructions about inserting backup batteries.
• Electrical systems. Periodically visually inspect the handset and power cord for signs of wear, chafing or cracks.
Also, ensure that no liquid or food is ingressed in to the electrical systems. Failure to do so may affect the
performance of the armchair.
• Call for assistance. It is recommended that some users have a telephone to hand when using the rise recline
armchair. This is in case they experience difficulty and need to call for help. Please note do not use a mobile
telephone whilst operating the armchair. It is recommended that you pull out the handset key before using a mobile
telephone.
• Carelessness causes fire. Although the foam and fabric used on the armchair are fire retardant to legally specified
levels, caution should be taken to avoid fire. Please ensure that all cigarettes and matches are properly extinguished.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• To assemble your rise recline armchair, first install the back rest. Slide the back on ensuring the two back rest
brackets go over the two back rest receiver brackets on the armchair. Push down hard on the back rest to lock in
position. Ensure both sides of the back rest are locked in position before use. Your dealer may have done this prior to
delivery. This procedure is described in more detail with photographs on a separate sheet supplied with the armchair.
A copy of this sheet is also included in the back of this handbook.
• Then plug the armchair in to the mains and operate the armchair so it rises.
• Some models feature a battery backup (see specification). To install the battery backup, first unplug the armchair.
Then press the plastic tab on the battery compartment lid whilst removing. Install two 9V PP3 batteries in to the
battery back up compartment. Replace the battery compartment lid. The battery compartment will either be located in
the control box underneath the chair or in the power supply.
• The battery backup will return the armchair to the normal position in the event of a power cut. The batteries should be
replaced annually or after the chair has been operated under the emergency power.
• Your armchair comes supplied with all peripherals (i.e. handset and actuator) connected. If you need to plug or
unplug any of the peripherals please contact your dealer for information on how to this.
• For your reference, diagrams showing the most popular wiring configuration are available from Drive DeVilbiss.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

• To allow the armchair to operate, the key jack must first be inserted in to the safety lock. This is a safety precaution
and the key jack should be removed when the handset is not in use to prevent accidental movement of the armchair.

• Ensure that you have read the section on Personal Safety before operating the armchair.
