GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CHAIRS

WARNING: Place chair in a fully upright and securely latched position or a fully
reclined position when cleaning or maintaining your chair. Your recliner has moving
parts that create pinch points. A chair in the "TV" position moves very easily and may
create pinch points.
WARNING: Never clean or maintain your chair with an occupant in the chair.
CAUTION: Never lubricate the trendelenburg mechanism; doing so may cause the
trendelenburg mechanism to fail. Note: this mechanism is particularly prone to
damage due to power washing.
It is not necessary or recommended that moving parts of the chairs be lubricated. Keeping the
chair clean is the main maintenance requirement.
Actuation adjustment is routine maintenance required to keep your chairs performing at their best.
See Appendix I for specific instructions. Each facility should check their chairs and set their own
maintenance schedule.
CAUTION: This adjustment requires tightening or loosening fasteners that effect
the chair operation. If these components are tightened too much, the chair will be
difficult to operate. If they are loosened too much, the chair may "drift" from one
position to the next.
It is recommended that the underside of the chairs be checked periodically for waste materials
that have fallen under the chair. For this purpose, use the quick-release seat feature for removal
of the waste. It is also recommended that the thumb screws on the quick-release seat be
periodically checked to make sure they are tight.
Check that the hinge fasteners, latch mount and release mount fasteners are secure on the swing
arm chairs. The top of each latch mount has plastic buttons that are designed wear points. Check
the buttons and replace when worn to prevent damage to vinyl covers. These checks should be
done monthly, and then tailor to your findings. (See applicable schematics and parts listing to
identify these components).
If a part becomes worn or broken, see the sections regarding service and warranty for
information, please reference service and warranty section of this manual.
