Operation Of Swing Arms; Operation Of Central Locking Casters - Champion 54P Series Operating Instructions And Service Manual

OPERATATION OF SWING ARMS (65P, 66P, 67P, 68P, 85P, 86P, 87P, 88P,
OR 89P SERIES)
WARNING: Your recliner has moving parts that create pinch points. When the
swing arms are open, those points are fully exposed. Occupants 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 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.
65, 66, 67, 68, 85, 86, 87, 88 and 89 series 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 an occupant transfer 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 be sure it is securely
latched.
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. This operation is
noted later in this manual.

the chair.
