SAFETY SUMMARY
The following recommendations are made for the safe installation and proper operation of the Invacare Lift-Out Chair:
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.
NOTE: Inspect the chair for any damage, i.e., nicks, tears or frame damage. Check pendant and power cord for break­age or damage. If any of these conditions exist, do NOT attempt to use the chair. Contact distributor for further instruction.

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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Refer to the GENERAL WARNINGS in the SAFETY SUMMARY of this Instruction Sheet.
WARNING
Before any maintenance is attempted, un­plug the Lift Chair from the electrical outlet. Otherwise injury or damage may result.
NOTE: Before lubricating and cleaning your chair, be sure to place a paper or cloth under the chair.
NOTE: The lift out chair uses a completely sealed gear­box motor, and no lubrication is necessary. Depending on chair usage, there may be a need to perform maintenance on the lift mechanism pivot points. This needs to be done approximately every three (3) years. The recommended lubricant is a general purpose wheel bearing grease.
Lubrication Points (FIGURE 3)
Note: If the motor does not operate, contact Invacare at the numbers on the back page.
1. Ensure that the plug is connected to an operating elec­trical outlet, and ensure that the pendant cord is plugged into the motor socket.
2. Raise the chair to the highest position to access the clevis pins.
Fabric Cleaning
UPHOLSTERY
Clean only with water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner.
CAUTION
DO NOT over-wet or saturate the fabric with liquid. DO NOT use solvents to spot or clean.
l Pile fabrics may require brushing to restore ap-
pearance.
Naugahyde®
For best results, remove staining immediately. The longer the staining is allowed to set the more diffi­cult the stain is to remove. Blot all excess staining residues. Always use a clean soft damp cloth when utilizing the following cleaning methods.
For Light Soiling:
l A solution of 10% household liquid dish soap with
warm water applied with a soft damp cloth will re­move most soiling.
l If necessary, use a solution of liquid cleanser and water
applied with a soft bristle brush. Wipe away the resi­due with a water-dampened cloth.
3. Unplug the chair.
4. Roll the chair forward onto the ottoman and the front of the seat back.
5. Perform the following to one (1) clevis pin one at a time (12 in all) as in FIGURE 3 - LUBRICA TION POINTS in this INSTRUCTION SHEET:
A. Remove hitch pin securing clevis pin to the frame. B. Remove clevis pin. C. Apply small amount of wheel bearing grease to
the clevis pin.
D. Reverse STEPS A-B. to install clevis pin.
6. Repeat STEP 5 on remaining clevis pins.
7. Repeat STEPS 1-4 to roll the lift out chair back into the upright position.
NOTE: If you are unable to perform regular maintenance to this chair or have any questions regarding this product, contact Invacare at the numbers on the back page.
For More Difficult Stains:
l Dampen a soft white cloth with a solution of house-
hold bleach (sodium hypochlorite); 1 part bleach, 4 parts water.
l Rub gently l Rinse with a water-dampened cloth to remove bleach
concentration.
l If necessary , allow a 1:4 diluted bleach solution to
puddle on the affected area of apply with a solution soaked cloth for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth to remove any remaining bleach concentration.
CAUTION
Try this method on an inconspicuous spot before using it on the original stain/soiling.

Please Review Carefully
Motor and Pendant Cleaning
Should you choose other cleaning methods or other clean­ing agents, carefully try them in an inconspicuous area to determine potential damage to the material. Never use harsh solvents or cleaners intended for industrial applica­tions. To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels.
Stains such as lipstick, crayon, felt tip pens, ballpoint pen, certain dyed suntan lotions or mustard, etc. must be cleaned immediately. The longer these and other similar harsh/permanent stains are exposed to the vinyl surface, the more difficult the vinyl will be to clean. In some cases, removal of certain stains is impossible.
WARNING
Cleaning products may be harmful/irritat­ing to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves and eye protection. Do not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding area/clothing from exposure. Use in a well-ventilated area. Follow all product manufacturers warning(s).
Unplug the chair from the wall before cleaning the motor or pendant. The motor and pendant may be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge.
WARNING
DO NOT pour or spray liquids onto the mo­tor. Otherwise injury or damage may result.
l Cleaning agents should be free of acids or salt
water.
l Dry the motor and pendant thoroughly after clean-
ing before returning the chair to service.
