C re nd M inten nce
Lifting Mech nism
Your Risewell lifting seat chair lifting mechanism has no user
serviceable parts and does not require any routine maintenance.
With proper use and care, the lift mechanism should give you
years of reliable service.
Contact your dealer or the store you bought your Risewell lifting
seat chair from if the lifting mechanism does not function
properly.
Note: The Risewe ifting seat chair is designed for a sing e user
weighing ess than 300 b (136 kg). Any other use wi void the
warranty.
F bric C re
The fabric on your Risewell lifting seat chair is made from 100%
Polyester.
It is important to keep the upholstery clean to ensure longest
wear and best appearance. To prevent staining, we recommend
frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and grime.
Note: Never use a stiff fiber or meta brush that cou d damage
the upho stery.
Fabric should be cleaned ONLY using water-based cleaning agents or
foam and lukewarm water. The fabric is shrink resistant, and run
resistant, but always TEST on a place that doesn’t show before using
any unproven solvent.
Note: Do not remove the cushion stuffing when c eaning.
For best overall cleaning results, we recommend using a
professional furniture cleaning service.
Note: Do not use dry-c eaning so vents on your Risewe ifting seat
chair upho stery.
Direct sunlight will fade any fabric. To avoid fading, never place
your Risewell lifting seat chair where it is exposed to the sun’s
direct rays.

C re nd M inten nce cont’d
St in Remov l
Prompt attention to stains and spots is important, as they are hard
to remove if allowed to “set.”
Always proceed with stain cleaning steps in this order:
1. Remove excess of stain
2. Use a water soluble solvent
3. Use a water based detergent
4. Rinse with water
5. Pat dry, or dry with fan or hair dryer set to “cool”
Other Import nt Det ils:
• Use only cool or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water since it often
sets stains permanently.
• Rule of thumb: never soak a fabric when cleaning it. Apply
solvents and cleaning solutions as sparingly as possible.
• Work carefully from the edges of the spot toward the center to
avoid enlarging the stain.
• A blotting action is preferable to a rubbing technique for stain
removal. Avoid harsh rubbing.
• Fast drying helps prevent rings.
Note: If the above does not work, or the stain is arge and unusua , you
shou d have it treated by a reputab e professiona c eaning service.
