GAS SPRING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Info: The gas spring has been pre-adjusted at the
factory.
The gas spring on your recliner provides
counterbalancing forces, and is self-locking for in nite,
precise positioning. Unlocking the gas spring is
controlled by actuating the lever located on the push
handle on the back of the recliner, shown on page  ve.
When the lever is actuated it pulls on the cable which
in turn pulls on a hinge, depressing a button at the end
of the gas spring rod. If the gas spring does not unlock
when the lever is actuated or if it remains permanently
unlocked when the lever is actuated, the cable must
be adjusted.
Adjusting Cable Tension
1. Remove the top gas spring pin from the recliner by
disassembling the bridge pin and the clevis pin that
secure the gas spring to the back / frame.
2. Loosen the lock nut on the gas spring.
3. Hold the hinge assembly while turning the gas
spring until the cable becomes taut. Back o the
gas spring an additional half turn.
Info: If the gas spring was not unlocking when the
lever was actuated, the gas spring must be turned
clockwise. If the gas spring was not locking when the
lever was released, the gas spring must be turned
counter-clockwise.
4. Retighten the lock nut.
5. Reassemble the gas spring to the back of the
recliner by replacing the clevis pin, bridge pin.
6. Actuate the recliner in accordance with the
operating instructions to verify correct adjustment.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Inspect all components periodically and replace as needed.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Check and clean casters.
• Tighten bolts in each leg that secure casters into frame.
• Check brakes on casters.
• Check and clean lock recline mechanism.
• Check recliner mechanism for operation in all positions with assistant seated in recliner.
UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE AND STAIN REMOVAL
• Ordinary dirt: wash with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
• Stubborn dirt: using a soft bristle brush, wash with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
• Ground-in dirt: scrub with powdered cleanser or similar detergent.
• Chewing gum: scrape carefully; remove with kerosene or naphtha.
• Nail polish and remover: Blot immediately to prevent damage.
• Ball point pen: blot immediately with a white cloth dampened in water or mineral oil.
• Paint, shoe polish, heel marks: remove immediately! Use a white cloth dampened in kerosene,
naphtha or turpentine. Do not use paint remover or liquid brush cleaners.
• Tars, asphalt, creosote: remove to prevent staining. Clean area with kerosene or naphtha.
WARNING: When using kerosene or naphtha, do so in a well ventilated area and keep it
away from re, ame, and recliner occupant.
WARNING: Never use the following: Solvents like paint thinner, Varsol, acetone, whiteners,
waxes, silicones or detergents and/or cleaning products that are not pH neutral.
WARNING: Never use cleaning tools like plastic or wire sponges, or hard-bristle brushes
that can damage the material permanently.
UPHOLSTERY CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE — ADVANCED VINYL PROTECTION
• We recommend cleaning at least once a week to extend the lifespan of the upholstery,
preventing dirt and contamination from building up and stains from becoming permanent.
Clean the whole surface in circular motions using liquid hand soap and water (1 part soap to
9 parts water). Rinse and wipe with a clean damp white cloth to get rid of any excess soap.
Repeat as needed and then let dry. Once a month, you can use a soft-bristle brush for a
deeper cleaning. Remember, light colors need more care, more often. For a list of approved
cleaning check the guide for recommended cleaning products.
• If you need to disinfect the upholstery because it has come into contact with organic material
(blood, urine or faecal matter).
1) Clean with a clean white cloth or fabric. If you choose to use a bleach solution, only use 0.5%
concentration, which can be prepared as follows: Dilution: 1 part bleach per 10 parts of water.
2) Rinse and wipe with a clean damp cloth or fabric to get rid of any excess.
3) Dry.

CDC RECOMMENDATIONS
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SURFACES IN PATIENT-
CARE AREAS FOR VINYL UPHOLSTERY, WALL COVERINGS AND FLOORING
• Select EPA-registered disinfectants, if available, and use them in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not use high-level disinfectants / liquid chemical sterilants for disinfection of either
noncritical instruments and devices or any environmental surfaces; such use is counter to label
instructions for these toxic chemicals.
• Follow manufacturers’ instructions for cleaning and maintaining noncritical medical
equipment.
• In the absence of a manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, follow certain procedures:
• Clean noncritical medical equipment surfaces with a detergent / disinfectant.
• Do not use alcohol to disinfect large environmental surfaces.
• Use barrier protective coverings as appropriate for noncritical surfaces that are:
• Touched frequently with gloved hands during the delivery of patient care.
• Likely to become contaminated with blood or body substances.
• Dicult to clean (e.g., computer keyboards).
• Keep housekeeping surfaces (e.g., oors, walls, tabletops) visibly clean on a regular basis and
clean up spills promptly.
• Use a one-step process and an EPA-registered hospital detergent / disinfectant designed for
general housekeeping purposes in patient-care areas where:
• Uncertainty exists as to the nature of the soil on the surfaces (whether it is blood or body
uid or just normal dust or dirt).
• Uncertainty exists regarding the presence of multi drug resistant organisms on such
surfaces.
• Detergent and water are adequate for cleaning surfaces in non patient-care areas (e.g.,
administrative oces). Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces on a more frequent
schedule than minimal-touch housekeeping surfaces. Clean walls, blinds, and window
curtains in patient-care areas when they are visibly dusty or soiled.
• Do not perform disinfectant fogging in patient-care areas.
• Avoid large-surface cleaning methods that produce mists or aerosols, or disperse dust in
patient-care areas.
• Follow proper procedures for eective uses of mops, cloths, and solutions.
• Prepare cleaning solutions daily or as needed, and replace with fresh solution frequently
according to facility policies and procedures.
8
GD_7150-7155-INS-LAB-RevA23 www.gendroninc.com

• Change the mop head at the beginning of each day and also as required by facility policy,
or after cleaning up large spills of blood or other body substances.
• Clean mops and cloths after use and allow to dry before reuse; or use single-use,
disposable mop heads and cloths.
• When performing low- or intermediate-level disinfection of environmental surfaces in
nurseries and neonatal units, avoid unnecessary exposure of neonates to disinfectant residues
on these surfaces by using EPA-registered germicides in accordance with manufacturers’
instructions and safety advisories.
