IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
FOR HEAT & HEAT AND MASSAGE CHAIRS:
This equipment is marked with the industry recognized symbol indicating it is a “Class II Double-
Insulated” device as defined by IEC 60601-1. As such, it does NOT require a three conductor power
cord (i.e. one with a ground connection) for safety purposes. While the equipment can be safely
operated with no ground connection, a three conductor power cord is provided to satisfy customer
expectations for typical equipment configuration. Devices qualifying as double insulated require dierent
testing & examination procedures than “Class I Grounded” devices. If your facility requires the product to be
tested, be sure to follow testing & examination procedures for “Class II Double-Insulated” devices.

rest on the seat. This will help you steady the chair back. If
possible, have someone help you hold the back assembly
while you install pins.
6. Align and insert the clevis pins (removed in step 4) through
each back frame fork and corresponding hole in the seat
frame. NOTE: There are a total of three (3) pins on
standard sized chairs and four (4) pins on XL chairs.
• The small hole in the clevis pin MUST be to the INSIDE
of the chair (FIG. 2).
MODELS 653 + 654: The clevis pin can only be installed
with the small pin hole to the OUTSIDE of the chair.
MODELS with "HEAT" or "HEAT & MASSAGE": The
wiring from the back should be positioned between the
back frame and the upholstered seat (FIG. 2A).
• DO NOT INSTALL WIRES
BETWEEN BACK FRAME FORKS.
KEEP FINGERS AND HANDS
CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS AND
PINCH POINTS.
• Make sure the clevis pin goes through the holes in the

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING THE GAS SPRING
NOTE: Tension or "stiness" of the gas spring is set by
factory and cannot be changed. The following instruction
is for adjusting the gas spring "release and engagement
points" for Trendelenburg or "deep recline" positions only.
1. Lock casters (refer to operating instructions). Remove cable
from operator and loosen 11/16" hex nut on top of operator
(FIG. 1).
2. Have a second person hold the back of chair steady and
remove the bow-tie cotter pin and clevis pin (FIG. 2). The
operator can now be rotated on threaded end of gas spring.
3. If back of chair does not go into Trendelenburg by squeezing
handle, rotate operator as shown one (1) full revolution
(FIG. 3A). If back of chair goes into Trendelenburg WITHOUT
squeezing handle, rotate operator as shown one (1) full
revolution (FIG. 3B).
4. Once you make an adjustment, replace clevis pin and bow-
tie cotter pin. Squeeze release handle and recline the back,
to check for proper adjustment. Repeat above steps as
needed until correct release action is achieved. TIGHTEN
HEX NUT (loosened in step 1) once operator is adjusted and
functioning properly.
DO NOT use chair if Trendelenburg
mechanism is not operating
properly. Remove chair from service
until repaired.

ADJUSTING THE RECLINER MECHANISMS
1. Place chair on its side in the #2 (Recline) position. Each chair
has a le and right recline mechanism with two tension
adjustments on each side, four total. Tension adjustment A
controls the footrest and legrest action. Tension adjustment
B controls the recline action from the #2 to #3 position (FIG.
4).
2. Locate the two (2) hex nuts (A or B) on the le and right
recline mechanisms. Use a 7/16" wrench and adjust both
le and right hex nuts one full revolution. Turn right to
tighten or le to loosen (FIG. 5).
3. Return recliner to upright position and check recliner for
reclining, legrest, and/or footrest action. Repeat step two if
needed. Tighten hex nuts no more than two full revolutions.
Remove any chair that does not
function properly from service
until properly repaired to factory
specifications.

REPLACING THE RECLINER MECHANISM
Keep hands and fingers clear of
moving parts when replacing the
mechanism. Use caution when
handling the mechanism to ensure
that it does not retract in your hands.
Remove recliner back and put aside
(refer to back assembly instructions).
1. Position recliner so that the recliner mechanism, located on
the chair frame, is accessible. Remove the four (4) bolts that
attach the recline mechanism to the chair frame (FIG. 1).
2. Remove the recliner mechanism and the attached seat
frame assembly from the chair main frame. Turn the seat
frame and mechanism assembly upside down on a table or
other stable surface (FIG. 2).
3. Remove all screws that attach footrest, mid-ottoman,
legrest, and seat from the recliner mechanism (FIG. 3).
4. Reattach the seat, legrest, mid-ottoman, and footrest to
the new mechanism. Reassemble the seat and recliner
mechanism assembly to the chair frame using four (4) new
locknuts and the bolts that were previously removed (FIG. 1).
REGULARLY lubricate pivot points on the recline mechanism
with a silicone based lubricant. Once per week, position the
chair back into full recline position, squeeze release handle and
go to full Trendelenburg position. This will keep the gas cylinder
lubricated. Periodically recheck tightness of all screws, bolts and
nuts.

GENERAL CARE & CLEANING
• Periodically inspect tightness of all screws, bolts, nuts, or other fasteners every year.
• Lubricate pivot points on the recline mechanism with a lubricant approved by your facility every year.
• If equipped, periodically position the chair back into full recline position to keep the gas cylinder
lubricated.
Champion Manufacturing ’s full-line of products are durable and reliable when properly cared for.
All Champion Manufacturing products should be:
• Cleaned
• Disinfected (per facility policy)
• Rinsed
• Allowed to air dry
NOTE: Disinfecting a product is not the same as cleaning the product. Disinfectants alone will not provide
adequate cleaning. They do not have grease or oil cutting properties to remove grime, hair, or skin oils.
The appearance, feel, and performance of your upholstery may diminish if not cleaned properly.
CLEANING
Champion Manufacturing chairs should be cleaned with mild soap and water solution and a damp cloth on a
regular basis. Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals that could damage the upholstery or finish of your chair. If the
upholstery is disinfected with chemicals or bleach mixtures, the chair MUST be wiped o using only clean water
on a damp cloth and then air dried. Failure to rinse upholstery with clean water can result in build-up of residue.
Over time residue can dry out the upholstery and cause changes to the look and feel of the upholstery, leading
to cracking. When cleaning or disinfecting use a dry cloth and thoroughly dry all areas that have vinyl to vinyl
contact or vinyl to steel contact. Moisture between the vinyl and steel surfaces could cause mildew or rust.
Please refer to instruction labels or tags included with your product for complete care and cleaning instructions.
Retain information on the label or tag for future use.
Additional information for cleaning products with Champion Manufacturing 's selection of vinyls can be found
on our website at: www.championchair.com/cleaning-instructions/
Use caution cleaning in and around mechanisms.
Keep hands clear of pinch points and metal edges or injury may occur.
NEVER clean or maintain your chair while it is occupied or injury may occur.
NEVER use a high pressure cleaner, wash tunnel, or "hose down" method to clean
this product. Liquid may cause damage to the product and void your warranty.
