OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

There are certain precautions that should be taken during the operation of your lift chair. Read and
follow these precautions carefully in order to ensure safe lift chair operation and to prevent injury
and/or product damage.
Plug the power lead directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension lead!
Do not place anything (for example, a drinking glass) on top of or near the external transformer.
If the external transformer box or hand control requires cleaning, unplug the power lead from the electrical
outlet and use a clean, dry cloth or lightly dampened cloth. Allow ample drying time before plugging the
power lead back into the electrical outlet.
Periodically check the hand control and all power leads 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 chair.
Keep children and pets away from all moving parts while operating the lift chair.
Do not allow children to play on or operate the lift chair. Only the intended user should operate the lift
chair.
Utilize the quick-disconnect feature on the standard hand control when the lift chair is not in use to prevent
unintended operation of the chair.
Avoid pinch points, such as the lift and scissor mechanisms. Keep hands and feet clear of these areas.
Always leave the lift chair in an upright and closed position when not in use.
Do not sit or stand on the footrest.
Do not "drop" into the lift chair when sitting if it is in a partially raised position.
PROHIBITED! Do not place objects under the lift chair. 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.

HAND CONTROL OPERATION

Depending on lift chair model, the hand control may be equipped with switches that control the movement of
the chair-back, chair base, and footrest (Fig. 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3).
WARNING! Do not lean on or apply
downward force to the chair-back when
the lift chair is in the fully reclined
position. Doing so could cause the lift
chair to tip, resulting in personal injury
and/or product damage.
WARNING! Do not use the footrest as a
seat, or
intended use. Doing so could cause
instability in the lift chair and place
undue stress on lift chair components,
resulting
product damage.
WARNING! Lock the hand control when not
in use.
NOTE: As an added safety measure, Pride recommends
that you utilize the quick disconnect to remove the hand
control from the lift chair and store the hand control out
of the reach of children when not in use.
