Your hips should be positioned in front of the recliner (not on the recliner itself), 2. Your back should remain flat at all time, 3. Your legs should remain supported; if they are not, you are too far from the recliner, 4. Your feet may extend beyond the edge of the recliner. • Raise the backrest by activating the ! button on the hand control. As soon as you let go, the backrest stops in that position and remains there until one of the buttons is activated again. • Push the " button on the hand control to lower the backrest to any comfortable position or all the way down. You may decide to move the memory foam topper so it extends beyond the recliner to support your feet.
