GENERAL WARNINGS

DO NOT operate this equipment without
first reading and understanding this instruc­tion sheet. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions, and Instructions,
contact a healthcare professional, dealer
or technical personnel if applicable be­fore attempting to use this equipment - oth­erwise injury or damage may result.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service
and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely.

DO NOT move the chair when occupied.
DO NOT sit on the ottoman. It is not de-

signed as a seating area.
DO NOT stand on the ottoman when en-

tering or exiting the chair. The chair WILL
tip and bodily injury may occur.

Always leave chair in an upright (closed)
position when not in use. DO NOT leave
the chair in the elevated position.

DO NOT operate the seat lift movement
of your chair with anyone seated on your
lap or on the arms of the lift chair/power
recliner.

The hand held pendant control is designed
to be operated by the occupant only.

DO NOT allow children to play on or oper­ate the chair. The ottoman folds down on
closing; a child could sustain injury. Keep
hands and feet clear of ottoman and scis­sors mechanism.

Ensure that legs and arms do not come in
contact with moving parts of the chair. If it
is necessary to retrieve items that may have
fallen under the chair, make certain the
chair is unplugged before proceeding.

When sitting on elevated chair, center
your weight in the chair.

SAFETY SUMMARY (CONTINUED)

GENERAL WARNINGS

Exercise extreme caution if there is a
power failure when chair is in fully reclined
position. User should be aware that when
the power fails the lift out chair will not
operate and is advised to find assistance
when exiting chair.

WEIGHT LIMITATION
The Lift-Out Chair can NOT be used by indi-

viduals weighing more than 350 lbs (160 kg.)

CAUTION (CONTINUED)

DO NOT operate the chair more than two
(2) minutes every twenty (20) minutes (2 min­utes ON/ 18 minutes OFF). If the chair is op­erated excessively, the protective thermal
overload switch will shut off the motor. If
this occurs, it may take several hours for
the motor to cool down and reset the ther­mal overload switch. The chair will oper­ate again once the motor has cooled off.

POSITIONING THE LIFT-OUT
CHAIR

1. Make certain there is adequate room to operate your

chair. With the chair in the closed (upright) position,
there must be 18-inches (45 cm) of clearance between
the top of the chair back and the wall. Nothing should
obstruct the back or the ottoman as the chair reclines.

2. Remove the cardboard corner pads (used for ship­ping) from the bottom of the chair before use. Ensure
all staples holding the cardboard corner pads are re­moved or not sticking up from the wood frame. This
will alleviate any rubbing with the lift mechanism.

CAUTION

All staples holding the cardboard corner
pads MUST be removed or not sticking up
from the wood frame-otherwise injury or
damage may result.
