Lift Chair Placement; Battery Installation - Pride C1 Owner's Manual

LIFT CHAIR SERIES

LIFT CHAIR PLACEMENT

Your lift chair should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry, level ground where there is ample
room to allow for proper operation. Pride recommends that you have the assistance of an attendant when
positioning the lift chair to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.
Follow these steps to position the lift chair in a safe manner:
1. Place the back of the lift chair 76 cm (30 in.) from the nearest obstruction while the chair is in the seated
position. This measurement may vary depending on model.
2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilize the lift chair (Fig. 3.2).
3. Install the batteries into the external transformer if applicable. Refer to "Battery Installation" for more
information.
4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area where it will not be an
obstruction, or if equipped, utilize the optional wall mount.
5. Position the low voltage connection cable where it will not be pinched between the frame and the lift
mechanism.
6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is not already connected.
7. Plug the power lead directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension lead!
NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set up and positioning of your lift chair, stop
and contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. To avoid personal injury and/or product
damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and do not
attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your lift chair may be equipped with a battery backup
system that will activate during a power failure. The
backup system is powered by two 9V batteries (not
included) that need to be installed into the external
transformer.
Follow these steps to install the batteries:
1. Unplug the external transformer power lead from
the electrical outlet.
2. Open the marked battery door on the external
transformer.
3. Install two 9V batteries into the external trans-
former (Fig. 4.2).
4. Replace the battery door.
NOTE: Always make sure the external transformer
is equipped with two fresh 9V batteries, since the
battery backup system does not recharge itself.
Fresh batteries are defined as 9V alkaline batteries
that are replaced every time the battery backup
system is activated during a power failure, or once
a year if the battery backup system has not been
activated.
NOTE: If you unplug your lift chair for an extended
period of time (more than one hour), remove the
batteries from the external transformer. The lift
chair will draw power from the batteries even
when it is not in use.
