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 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 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.
Keep the hand control locked or 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.
