3 OPERATION AND MOVEMENT

Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when operating the chair's functions or moving the
chair. Only authorized caregivers should attempt to operate or move a chair. The caregiver must use proper body
mechanics when operating the chair, and be prepared to support the weight of the resident while operating the chair.
3.1

Seat Tilt

Gas cylinders allow the seat to be tilted to any position
from most upright to the lowest within its range. Use
seat tilt to safely position the resident, redistribute
pressure and increase comfort.
To Activate the Seat Tilt
-Place your right hand on the bar to assist movement
and squeeze the tilt handle with your left hand.
-Raise or lower the seat tilt until the desired angle is
achieved.
3.2 Back Recline:
Gas cylinders allow the back to be reclined to any
position from the most upright to the lowest within its
range. Use back recline to position the resident, create
pressure redistribution, increase comfort, and assist with
daily care activities.
WARNING: Always tilt slightly before reclining to
prevent resident from sliding.
To Activate the Back Recline
-Place your left hand on the top bar to assist movement
and squeeze the recline handle with your right hand.
-Raise or recline the back until the desired angle is
achieved.
3.3

Elevating Leg Rest

Gas cylinders allow the leg rest to be positioned
infinitely from horizontal to vertical. The leg rest
elevates with the recline. It is also independently
adjustable.
To Adjust the Leg Rest:
-Hold the leg rest to assist movement and squeeze the
leg rest handle.
-Raise or lower the leg rest to the desired angle.
The leg rest elevates with the back recline but not with
the seat tilt. If the back is in the recline position, the
leg rest cannot be lowered independently.
