For safe recliner operation
WARNING: Do not exceed the safe working load of the recliner. Safe working load is determined by
occupant weight plus attachments to recliner. Exceeding safe working load may cause product damage
and injury.
WARNING: Always fully lock the casters before entry and exit of the recliner to avoid the risk of
injury. Casters roll when unlocked and may cause injury.
WARNING: Always fully unlock casters before you move the recliner to avoid the risk of injury and
product damage.
WARNING: Always lock the transfer arm when transferring an occupant or disinfecting the recliner to
avoid the risk of injury. Occupant may be able to operate the transfer arm if not locked which may cause
bodily harm.
WARNING: Do not use the transfer arm while the recliner is in the Trendelenburg position to avoid the
risk of injury. The recliner moves forward as the occupant reclines. If Trendelenburg is activated before
full recline is reached, the transfer arm may not allow for enough clearance to safely perform a lateral
transfer.
WARNING: Always keep hands, feet, and legs clear of the recline mechanism to avoid the risk of
injury. The mechanism creates pinch points that may cause harm to the operator.

This recliner is designed with a wall-hugger mechanism. Make sure you have
approximately 5 in. (12.7 cm) between the recliner back and the wall for proper
operation. The recliner seat and back move forward when you recline. Remember that
the recliner occupant will move in the same manner as they recline. The wall-hugger
mechanism maintains the occupant's weight over the footprint of the recliner and
operates best with the occupant seated all the way to the back of the recliner.
Recliner positions (upright, TV, and full recline)
WARNING: Never place hands near or on a recliner mechanism when it is in motion to avoid the risk
of injury. Do not place your hands where you cannot see. To assist an occupant in opening or closing the
footrest: place your hands on upholstered surfaces only.
