PARTS DESCRIPTION
PERSONAL SAFETY
Please follow the safety guidelines below to ensure that you get the best from your armchair for many years to come.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in injury or damage:
zJust one at a time. Ensure that only one person uses the armchair at a time.
zFootrests are for feet. Ensure that nobody sits or puts their entire body weight on the elevated footrest as this could
result in injury and/or damage
zWatch for walls. Ensure that the armchair is out of range from walls and furniture when operating to avoid
damage to upholstery and décor.
zStop Child. Ensure that all children and pets are supervised when around the armchair. Do not allow children to
use the handset, and that all visitors are aware of the potential trapping danger from mechanisms.
zTake your key. The handset comes with a key jack. It is recommended that you remove the key when you are not
using the armchair to prevent any body else using the armchair and becoming trapped.
zBe careful of the scissor mechanism. The elevating leg rest uses a scissor mechanism. Please ensure that no body
parts or clothing, blankets, etc are caught in the scissor mechanism when operating.
zPractice makes perfect. In certain circumstances or with some medical conditions the user needs to practice using
the rise recline armchair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant may be a care professional or a
family member who has been trained in assisting a rise recline armchair user with daily activities.
zWeight Limit. Observe and do not exceed the weight limits on the armchair
zBattery backup. Ensure that the battery back up is replaced very year or when the battery back up is used in the
event of a power cut. See the section on Installation Instructions about inserting backup batteries.
zElectrical systems. Periodically visually inspect the handset and power cord for signs of wear, chafing or cracks.
Also, ensure that no liquid or food is ingressed in to the electrical systems. Failure to do so may affect the
performance of the armchair.
zCall for assistance. It is recommended that some users have a telephone to hand when using the rise recline
armchair. This is in case they experience difficulty and need to call for help. Please note do not use a mobile
telephone whilst operating the armchair. It is recommended that you pull out the handset key before using a mobile
telephone. Failure to do so could cause damage to the electrical systems.
zCarelessness causes fire. Although the foam and fabric used on the armchair are fire retardant to legally specified
levels, caution should be taken to avoid fire. Please ensure that all cigarettes and matches are properly
extinguished. Also, be careful of other fire hazards such as electric and gas fires, etc nearby,

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PERSONAL SAFETY
zAll the above dimensions are for the armchairs in their normal chair position.
zAll Restwell rise & recline armchairs are CE marked and meet the relevant British Fire Retardancy Standards
zAll rise & recline armchairs have a serial number label on them, which is located on the armchair frame.
zAll electrical armchairs have a weight limit of 175 kg (27½stone).
zAll manual recline armchairs have a weight limit of 120 kg (19 stone).
zLeather care. Periodically inspect the leather for any signs of wear or damage such as pulls, tears, or gaps. Please
note that leather is a natural product and will not look the same in every location..
zElectrical and control systems. Periodically inspect the cord and hand control for cracks, wear, holes and loose
wires.
zBattery backup. The Restwell range of armchairs has a battery backup system which is designed for emergency
use in the event of a power failure. The battery should be replaced annually or after a power failure. The backup
system has very limited power so should only be used in the event of a power failure or emergency. The backup
system requires two 9V PP3 batteries.
zServicing. Restwell rise recline armchairs are designed to be maintenance free and do not require regular
servicing. However, if a problem does occur with your armchair or you require a spare part please contact your
Drive Medical dealer..
zCleaning the Upholstery – all leather. We recommend cleaning leather with a slightly moist cloth only, and not
using cleaning agents. If you feel you must use a cleaning agent, please use only the agents which have been
especially made for cleaning leather. Please also make sure the cloth or sponge you use to clean the leather (with
warm water or special leather cleaning agents) is appropriate to use for wiping leather.
