Operation Of The Swing Arms (If Equipped) - Champion Classic Series Operating Instructions And Service Manual

Operation of the swing arms (if equipped)

WARNING: Your recliner has moving parts that create pinch points. When the
swing arms are open, those points are fully exposed. Patients should NEVER be left in
a chair with the arms in the opened position. THE CHAIR SHOULD NOT BE LEFT
UNATTENDED, WITH THE ARMS UNLATCHED.
CAUTION: Be aware of the path the arm is taking. Swinging the arm into objects
may result in vinyl damage. It is recommended that opening the arm be done with the
chair in the fully upright position or the fully reclined position. If the arm on your
chair is equipped with a fold-down table, relocate the items on the table top and fold
the table top down.
Swing arms hinge at the back and may be opened a full 180 degrees. To do this, standing at the
side of the chair, grasp the release handle and lift to release, and swing the arm open.
Once a patient transfer or maintenance is complete, the arm should be returned to the locked
position. To do this, swing the arm back toward the front of the chair until you hear the "click" of
the release handle being secured by the latch; pull outward on the arm to ensure the arm is
securely latched. It may be necessary to lift slightly to move the arm into position for the
handle to latch.
NOTE: The swing arms may be opened in the upright position to allow access to the thumb-
knobs that secure the quick release seat to the mechanism. The balance of the operation of
removing the quick release seat is as noted in this manual.
