OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
• DO NOT sit on the footrest when recliner is extended. The recliner WILL tip and bodily injury may occur.
• DO NOT push or pull footrest to position the recliner.
• DO NOT place hands or feet into any openings when adjusting the recliner. Attendant or care provider should
always verify placement of user’s hands and feet prior to adjusting the recliner. Failure to do so may result in
serious bodily injury.
• Operation of recliner with missing or broken footrest or mechanism guards may result in bodily injury. Periodic
inspection of the footrest guard and scissor mechanism guard MUST be made four (4) times a year. Torn,
cracked or otherwise damaged guards MUST be replaced prior to use. Recliner MUST be removed from
service until replacement guards are installed.
• DO NOT lift the recliner by the footrest. Lifting by means of the footrest may result in injury to the user and/or
damage to the recliner.
• DO NOT use near an open flame or heat source, as all upholstery materials, even though treated with flame
retardant, can ignite when exposed to open flame.
• Rear caster wheels MUST be locked during user transfer to or from recliner and while tilting and/or inclining
(reverse recline).
• DO NOT enter or exit the recliner when footrest is elevated
• DO NOT attempt to stop the recliner while in motion with the wheel locks.
WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES.
• Before attempting to transfer in or out of the recliner, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap
distance. Turn the recliner toward the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the
recliner, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS. Special care MUST BE taken with people that
have physical limitations, which may require an assistant.
• DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes GREATER than 9 degrees.
• DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Medline.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

TILT AND/OR RECLINE OPTION OPERATED BY AN ATTENDANT
WARNINGS
ALWAYS make sure that the recliner is stable BEFORE using the tilt and/or recliner option.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the recliner before tilting, reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to
maintain maximum stability and safety.
When returning the occupant of the recliner to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for
approximately the last twenty (20) degrees of incline (reverse recline). Make sure to use proper body mechanics
(use your legs) or seek assistance to avoid injury.
