mechanisms:
• Tilt in Space
• Tilt in Space with Trendelenburg (The Oregon)
• Wallhugger recline only with rocking motion (The Nevada)
The following instructions cover the operation of these mechanisms. Both the Oregon
and Nevada chairs have additional features as described below.
Important Note: All of these chairs work on body weight and pressure and it is the reason why
we recommend that they are not suitable for frail or very elderly people.
A) All Manual mechanisms except the Nevada
Whilst sitting in the chair you can recline the backrest and at the same time elevate the leg rest by
pushing back on the backrest until your desired position is reached.
To return to the seated position take your back pressure off the backrest allowing it to come back
up. At the same time apply downward pressure with your legs which will cause the leg rest to go
down. Please note that suitable force needs to be applied to the leg rest to ensure its safe closure.
Once in position the leg rest will retain its position.
B) The Oregon with Piston lever
To operate the backrest recline and leg rest elevation see A) above.
In addition, there is a piston operated recline function which requires assisted operation. There is
a lever on the right-hand side of the push handle which will enable the backrest to recline further.
It can be used at any time to open-up the hip angle and to also engage the Trendelenburg position.
Simply pull the lever in and then recline to the desired position using the push handle to apply the
downward pressure. Releasing the lever will lock the backrest in the desired position.
To return to the original position, engage the lever and pull the back-up, using the push handle. It
will lock into place once the lever is released.
C) The Nevada Wallhugger with rocking motion
Once the user is seated, they can activate the rocking motion by gently moving their body.
It only operates whilst in a seated position and will stop when the chair reclines.
The backrest recline and leg rest elevation are operated at the same time by releasing the catch
which is inset into the arm of the chair. The user can then stop at the required position. To return
to the seated position apply downward pressure to the leg rest whilst taking any back pressure off
the backrest. Please ensure that you apply enough pressure for the leg rest to lock into position.
This will prevent it coming back up.
