Care, Chair Assembly and Setup, Warranty, and Weight Capacity

Hand Control referenCe Guide

NOTE: This quick reference guide offers basic hand control functions, general care instructions,
basic assembly information, warranty information, and weight capacity information for your
chair. Before operating the chair, thoroughly read the owner’s manual and all other supplemental
documents for information on safety, basic operation, and care and maintenance.

The illustrations reflect those hand controls with the highest level of functionality. The hand control you
receive may have fewer options, but basic functionality is the same.

The premier feature of the ViVaLiFT!® Power Recliner is that you have the ability to adjust your feet and back
independently to achieve your perfect position. For example, the seatback can recline until it is horizontal to
the floor. To achieve this, press and hold button “8” (as shown in figure 1) until it is fully reclined.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The fabric covering this piece of furniture is very durable for everyday living. Clean with only water­based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Do not over wet. Do not use solvents to spot clean. Lightly
scrubbing will help with any tougher spots that may have developed. Always check a small spot of fabric
in an area that is unseen to be sure the cleaning agent being used will not discolor or fade the fabric’s
finishing. Let the chair air dry and vacuum for the best result.

CHAIR ASSEMBLY AND SETUP

Unpack the chair. Place the hand

TIP: To ensure quality delivery of your new chair, we
have developed a customized packaging system to
guard against possible damage that may occur during
the transportation and handling of your product. As a
result, the packaging components used to protect the
product could cause the fibers in the cushioning to
appear misshaped upon unpacking. In the event that
you experience this, we recommend that you “fluff”
the chair cushions to allow air into the cushion fibers.
This process will return the cushions to their original
shape.

Your chair is equipped with a lithium-ion battery backup
system. Ensure that it is correctly installed onto the
external transformer.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION

Plug the power cord leading from the external
transformer directly into a standard electrical outlet.
Route the power cord through the back of the chair.
Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING! Do not connect an extension cord
to the AC/DC converter or the battery charger.
A UL Listed or UL Recognized single outlet
plug-style surge protector with a minimum of
1000 joules of protection may be used. The
surge protector MUST be plugged directly
into an electrical outlet.
