Proper Use Of Foot Tray - Champion ASCENT Operating Instructions And Service Manual

The foot tray is a feature available on many Champion recliner models. The foot tray is useful as
an assist for patients getting into or out of the recliner, re-positioning in the recliner, and as a foot
support while sitting fully upright or being transported in the recliner.
WARNING: Never move chair while patient is in the seat in the upright position
with their feet dangling.
The foot tray pulls out from under the recliner foot rest. Before use make sure chair casters are
locked and ensure that the foot tray is in the fully-extended position. To fully extend the foot tray
pull it out from the front of the recliner until you feel the front edge of the foot tray drop slightly.
In this position, the foot tray cannot be pushed back under the chair to the "stow" position unless
you first lift on the front edge of the tray.
To stow the foot tray, lift up on the front edge of the tray and slide it back under the recliner as
far as it will go.
Staff should always advise patients that the foot tray has been extended. Staff should never allow
a patient to stand on the foot tray unattended. Patients over 225 lbs. should not use the foot tray
as a step.
WARNING: Any recliner not equipped with a foot tray is not considered an
appropriate transport chair.
Foot tray is also available in yellow and can come with a warning label and clear tread.
