Operation of the Chair:
10. This recliner has three (3) positions; UPRIGHT, SEMI-RECLINE, and RECLINE, which can be achieved by
user or attendant. The position lock bar can only be engaged or disengaged by attendant. Not all notches on
Position Lock Bar are used for this model chair. Only the 1st thru 4th notches can be used on the 5291 Recliner.
11. POSITION LOCK: Attendant may hold the chair in a reclined position by engaging the Position Lock. To
safely accomplish this, recline the chair to the 2nd or 3rd recline position and lower the position lock with your
hand until the notches on the Position Lock bars engage with the Position Lock Pins.
To release Position Lock, raise the Position Lock off of the Pins and return chair to upright position.
12. This chair is equipped with Total Lock casters. Stepping on the brake tab will lock the wheel and the swivel
mechanism of the caster for added safety and security.
13. Side panels can be removed, for ease of cleaning, by unscrewing three (3) thumb screws on the inside of
each panel.
To ensure proper operation of the reclining mechanism, lubricate all pivot points with a silicone type lubricant (or
lubricant approved by your facility) at least twice yearly. Periodically recheck tightness of all screws and bolts.
