SECTION 1—WARNINGS AND GENERAL GUIDELINES

SECTION 1 - WARNINGS AND GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.

Check all parts for shipping damage. In case of damage, DO NOT USE. Contact Carrier/ Dealer for further instructions.

Every month, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, DO NOT USE, the parts MUST be replaced. Refer to pg. 8 & 12 of this manual for proper maintenance and inspection guidelines.

Regular maintenance of the mobile recliner and accessories is necessary to assure proper and safe operation. Ensure that casters are free of debris.

ALWAYS keep hands and ngers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

NEVER use near an open ame or heat source, as all upholstery

materials, even though treated with ame retardant, can ignite when exposed to open ame.

Rear caster wheels MUST be locked during user transfer to or from recliner and while tilting and/or reclining or inclining (sitting up).

Casters and axle bolts require inspection every month to check for tightness and wear.

NEVER enter or exit the recliner when footrest is elevated.

NEVER sit on the footrest when recliner is extended. The recliner will

tip and bodily injury may occur.

NEVER push or pull footrest to position the recliner.

NEVER stand on the footplates. When getting in or out of the

wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing the footrests towards the outside of the wheelchair.

NEVER place hands or feet into any openings when adjusting the recliner. Attendant or care provider should always verify placement of user ’s hands and feet prior to adjusting the recliner. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury.

Operation of recliner with missing or broken footrest or recline mechanism guards may result in bodily injury. Periodic inspection of the footrest guard and recline mechanism guard MUST be made monthly. Torn, cracked or otherwise damaged guards MUST be replaced prior to use. Recliner MUST be removed from service until replacement guards are installed.

NEVER lift the recliner by the footrest. Lifting by means of the footrest may result in injury to the user and/or damage to the recliner.

NEVER attempt to stop the recliner with the wheel locks, while in motion. Wheel locks are not brakes.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the recliner, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn the recliner toward the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the recliner, ALWAYS engage both wheel locks. Special care MUST BE taken with people that have physical limitations and who may require an assistant.

Page 7

SECTION 1— WARNINGS AND GENERAL GUIDELINES (CONT)

NEVER traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°

with a user seated in the chair.

ProBasics products are specically designed and manufactured for use

in conjunction with ProBasics accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Compass Health Brands or the manufacturer and are not recommended for use with ProBasics products.

NEVER allow children to operate the recliner. The legrest lowers down upon closing so that a child could possibly be severely injured.

NEVER allow children or pets to play on or under the recliner. The legrest lowers down upon closing so that a child or pet could possibly be severely injured.

When unoccupied ensure the legrest is ALWAYS down. Keep hands and feet clear of mechanism. NEVER press down or stand on the footrest.

RECLINE OPTION OPERATED BY AN ATTENDANT

Test the recline feature of the recliner rst without an occupant to

ensure the gas cylinder is operational. NEVER operate the recline option if the gas cylinder is not operational.

ALWAYS make sure that the recliner is stable before using the recline option.

Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the recliner before reclining or inclining to maintain maximum stability and safety.

When returning the occupant of the recliner to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance to avoid injury.

Physical limitations of a user and larger occupants of the recliner can present conditions that can injure the assistant. When in doubt, ensure that additional assistants are present before operating the recline feature.

This recliner is intended for indoor use only.

dealer for a thorough inspection and servicing. Regular cleaning service and inspection will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of your recliner. To operate properly and safely, your recliner must be cared for appropriately as any other vehicle. Routine
