OPERATION
TENTE®CASTERS
WARNING: Casters must be locked at all times EXCEPT during transport.

locking caster
(right rear caster)
total
locking caster
All Intensa Clinical Care Recliners now feature the latest design, all-plastic casters from TENTE,
shown above. Specically designed for use in healthcare environments, the new casters are easier
to clean, easier to move, and tolerate a wide array of cleaners and chemicals. Each caster is made
from high-grade synthetic materials and features a double-ball bearing swivel head. The wheel
center is made of polypropylene and the tire tread of TENTEprene (thermoplastic rubber). The
gray non-marking tires feature precision ball bearings.
Locking casters
Each Intensa Clinical Care Recliner features three total locking casters, identied by black actuator
tabs, that lock both the wheel and the swivel. To activate the total lock, simply press down on
the BLACK actuator tab until it locks. To release the total lock, press on the raised portion of the
actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal operating position.
Directional (swivel) caster
The fourth caster, located on the right rear position of the recliner, is a directional (swivel) locking
caster only. Identied by a green actuator tab, the directional lock caster will lock in one of two
180-degree positions relative to the frame (forward and backward) and allows the recliner to track
straight when pushed. To activate the directional lock, simply press down on the GREEN actuator
tab until it locks — you may need to move the recliner slightly until the caster locks in a straight
line with the recliner frame. To release the directional lock, press on the raised portion of the
actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal operating position.

PIVOT-ARM OPERATION
See pictures at right. The IN601 Clinical Care Recliner features two
pivot-arms. The pivot-arms make cleaning the recliner much easier
and more efcient. The pivot-arms are hinged at the back of the
recliner.

FEATURE. A patient MUST NOT attempt operation of the
pivot-arms while seated in the recliner.

the front of the recliner as shown at upper right, to unlock the
pivot-arm on that side.
2. Gently open up the pivot-arm, as shown at lower right, to the
desired degree.
3. Once maintenance or cleaning is complete, return the arm to the
locked position.

or reclined with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position. DO NOT transport a patient
in the recliner with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position.

The recliner may tip and become unstable if weight is placed on the pivot-arm when in the
open position.
sCAUTION: When opening the pivot-arms, ensure there is nothing in the way of the pivoting
arm. Damage to the vinyl upholstery may result if the pivot-arm impacts any object. The
pivot-arms are best operated when the recliner is in the upright position.
