OPERATION
TENTE® CASTERS
WARNING: Casters must be locked at all times, except during transport.
The Lumex Ortho-Biotic II Recliner features the
latest design, all-plastic casters from TENTE.
Specically designed for use in healthcare
environments, these 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 Ortho-Biotic II 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° 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 OPERATION
The Lumex Ortho-Biotic II Recliner Series FR597 features a unitized recliner mechanism that
allows independent adjustment of the legrest and back for patient comfort. The easy-access
Trendelenburg (Shock) Position pedal on the RIGHT SIDE of the recliner allows quick
activation by the caregiver.
Info: Trendelenburg (Shock) position can only be activated by a caregiver;
Trendelenburg Position CANNOT be activated by a patient while in the recliner.
