II. GENERAL GUIDELINES

LIFT CHAIR SERIES

Your lift chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride
provides an extensive variety of products to best fit your individual needs. Please be a ware th at
the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of lift chair to be used is the
responsibility of you, the lift chair user, if capable of making such a decision, and/or your health­care professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

MANDATORY! Read and follow the information provided in this owner’s manual
before attempting to operate your lift chair for the first time.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating the
lift chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or
healthcare professional specially trained in assisting you with performing various daily living activities while
safely operating a lift chair.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to
operating the lift chair in a safe manner.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your lift chair to provide maximum comfort and utility. However, to pre­vent personal injury and/or damage to your lift chair, you should not modify, add, remove, or disable any
feature, part, or function of your lift chair. Unauthorized modifications may also void your product’s warranty.

NOTE: Use Pride parts only for all repairs and replacements.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your lift chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to “Appendix A” for more information.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your lift chair. Pride will
not be held responsible for injuries and/or product damage resulting from failure to
observe weight limitations.

PINCH/CRUSH HAZARDS

The scissor and lift mechanisms are labeled as pinch/crush point hazards on your lift chair. Keep clear of
these areas and make sure the path of motion is unobstructed. See figure 3.1 for pinch/crush point locations.

WARNING! Do not place objects or appendages in the path of moving parts.

LIFT CHAIR SERIES

II. GENERAL GUIDELINES

ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)

WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered
devices, such as lift chairs.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wire­less computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by
emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control
system of electrically-powered devices. The lift chair user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment. It is recom­mended that at lest 9 feet (3 meters) of distance be maintained between the lift chair and any handheld
equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld
device to determine the maximum output of that device.

Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the
greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated
as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore,
its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment,
making the lift chair suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and hospitals.

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of
radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered
device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating
your lift chair.

WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase
the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way not
authorized by Pride.

WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical
devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.

NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift chair. Contact Pride to report the
incident.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be individually
packaged. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorized Pride Provider immedi­ately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please contact the
delivery company responsible.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components (external transformer, etc.)
should be secured against slipping. The lift chair itself must also be secured against slipping (a possible
hazard during vehicle braking).

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Your Pride Lift Chair is equipped with a low voltage DC electrical system that reduces the standard household
alternating current of 100V AC - 240V AC to direct current (24/39V DC). The electrical components include the
external transformer, batteries (not included), and hand control. Keep these areas free from moisture at all times.

WARNING! Keep all electrical components free from moisture at all times to
prevent shock and/or electrical hazard.

External Transformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power to the lift chair. The trans­former is equipped with an LED indicator, which shows green when power to the transformer is on.

The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that allow the transformer to be
mounted to the wall directly under the standard electrical outlet. The screws must be mounted to the wall stud
for security. Refer to “Appendix E” for a mounting diagram.

NOTE: Pride is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.

Batteries: Provide the power needed to return the lift chair from the recline position to the sit and/or lift
position in the event of a power failure. For those models equipped with a battery backup system, the batteries
(not included) must be installed into the external transformer. See IV. “Assembly/Disassembly.”

Hand Control: Contains the controls needed to operate the various functions of the lift chair. Refer to V.
“Operation” for more information. The hand control may be equipped with a quick-release connector, which
enables the user to detach the hand control from the chair, disabling all functions of the hand control.

LIFT CHAIR PLACEMENT

Your lift chair should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry, level ground where there is ample
room to allow for proper operation. Pride recommends that you have the assistance of an attendant when
positioning the lift chair to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.

Follow these steps to position the lift chair in a safe manner:

1. Place the back of the lift chair 30 in. (76 cm) from the nearest obstruction while the chair is in the seated
position. This measurement may vary depending on model.

2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilize the lift chair (Fig. 3.3).

3. Install the batteries into the external transformer if applicable. Refer to “Battery Installation” for more
information.

4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area where it will not be an
obstruction, or if equipped, utilize the optional wall mount.

5. Position the low voltage connection cable where it will not be pinched between the frame and the lift
mechanism.

6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is not already connected.

7. Plug the power cord directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord!

NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the setup and positioning of your lift chair,
stop and contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. To avoid personal injury and/or
product damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and
do not attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your lift chair may be equipped with a battery backup
system that will activate during a power failure. The
backup system is powered by two 9V batteries (not
included) that need to be installed into the external
transformer.

Follow these steps to install the batteries:

1. Unplug the external transformer power cord from
the electrical outlet.

2. Open the marked battery door on the external
transformer.

3. Install two 9V batteries into the external trans­former (Fig. 4.2).

4. Replace the battery door.
