Operation Precautions

There are certain precautions that should be taken during the operation of your power lift recliner. Read
and follow these precautions carefully in order to ensure safe power lift recliner operation and to prevent
injury and/or product damage.
Plug the power cord directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord!
Do not place anything (e.g., a drinking glass) on top of or near the external transformer.
If the external transformer box or hand control requires cleaning, unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and use a clean, dry cloth or lightly dampened cloth. Allow ample drying time before
plugging the power cord back into the electrical outlet.
Periodically check the hand control and all power cords for visible damage.
Keep the hand control away from all heated surfaces.
Ensure the hand control is out of the way before sitting in the power lift recliner.
Keep children and pets away from all moving parts while operating the power lift recliner.
Do not allow children to play on or operate the power lift recliner. Only the intended user should
operate the power lift recliner.
Keep the hand control locked or utilize the quick-disconnect feature when the power lift recliner is
not in use to prevent unintended operation of the power lift recliner.
Avoid pinch points, such as the lift and scissor mechanisms. Keep hands and feet clear of these
areas.
Always leave the power lift recliner in an upright and closed position when not in use.
Do not sit or stand on the footrest.
Do not "drop" into the power lift recliner when sitting if it is in a partially raised position.
PROHIBITED! Do not place objects under the power lift recliner. Make sure area is clear of obstructions,
including pets and small children during operation.
WARNING! Prevent the risk of electrical shock, fire, falls, and/or being pinched. Follow all instructions and
precautions provided.
WARNING! Prevent potential equipment damage! Do not place the external transformer under the power lift
recliner.
WARNING! Do not cover the external transformer. Keep the transformer in an open, well-ventilated area free
from foreign material/debris to ensure proper operation.
WARNING! Do not attempt to stand up until you can stand safely, are steady on your feet, and can bear weight.
Pride recommends the use of assistance aids and/or an attendant for enhanced stability.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the power lift recliner armrests when attempting to stand and do
not use the armrests for weight-bearing purposes.
Hand Control Operation
Your power lift recliner hand control is equipped with switches/buttons that control the movement of the
chair and/or heat and massage options. Read the following instructions for basic hand control operation.
Please refer to the Hand Control Quick Reference Guide for more detailed information on your specific
hand control.
WARNING! Do not lean on or apply downward force to the chair-back when the power lift recliner is in the fully
reclined position. Doing so could cause the power lift recliner to tip, resulting in personal injury and/or product
damage.
WARNING! Do not use the footrest as a seat, or for purposes outside its intended use. Doing so could cause
instability in the power lift recliner and place undue stress on power lift recliner components, resulting in
personal injury and/or product damage.
WARNING! Be sure to lock or disconnect the hand control when the power lift recliner is not in use.
