total
locking caster
All Lumex 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 Lumex 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.

recliner, grasp the armrest with one hand and the push
handle with the other hand. Push back on push handle to
recline. To return, grasp push handle and pull forward to
raise the recliner’s back.
sNOTICE: DO NOT use the footrest by itself to
return the recliner to an upright position from any
recline position. Doing so may damage the recliner
mechanism. Follow the instructions above to operate

Third Position (Second Recline Position)
The third position is the Second Recline Position and is also known as the “Full Recline”
position. This position is ideal for patient treatment, rest and reading.
To Achieve Third Position / Second Recline Position:
• Reclining by patient: From the First Recline Position, continue to push against the
back by placing your hands on armrests and continue to recline yourself to the Second
Recline Position. To bring yourself up, place hands on armrest and pull yourself up while
leaning your body forward away from the recliner back while at the same time pushing
down evenly on the footrest with your legs.
• Reclining by caregiver: Standing on either side of the recliner, grasp the armrest with
one hand and push handle with the other hand. Push back on push handle to recline. To

Heat and Massage Unit Troubleshooting Guide
The cables and connections need to be validated. This will require the services of a
maintenance person and a clear working area.
1. INSPECTION: Perform the following checks. If a working recliner of the same model is
available, use it for comparison.
a) Is the AC cord properly connected to the power supply? Is the cable from the power
supply to the control module junction box in place?
b) With the power supply AC cord plugged into a live AC outlet, does the small light to
the left of the white seat symbol (located on the switch) light up when the switch is
pressed repeatedly or is there any indication of massage operation?
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before performing the
following steps!
c) Is there any sign of external damage to the handheld pendant or wire?
d) Is there any sign of external damage to the recliner?
e) Do any of the cables show any sign of damage or pinch points?
f) Are all cable connections to the control module in place? Are the connectors fully
engaged?
g) Are any of the connectors damaged?
h) Are the wires within the connectors attached to the pins? Each wire may have to be
tugged lightly to check if the wire is still crimped to the pin.
4. POST-INSPECTION:
a) If improper or loose connections are found, reconnect them rmly (unless a loose
wire has been found). Plug the power supply AC cord into a live wall socket and
operate the unit through all functions.
b) If the handheld pendant or wire is damaged, notify Graham-Field so that a handheld
pendant can be sent for replacement.
c) If damage to any other electrical cable or component, or disconnected wires are
found, please notify Graham-Field.
5. ACTIONS:
a) If full operation is restored, please advise Graham-Field of your successful outcome.
b) If the fault cannot be corrected by simple re-connection, please inform Graham-Field
of the results of your inspection in detail so that we may determine the appropriate
action to be taken.
If you have any questions about the setup and / or operation of the Heat and Massage Unit,
call the Graham-Field Technical Support Group at 1.770.368.4700.

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:
