inspection and servicing. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth
operation of your recliner. To operate properly and safely, your recliner must be cared for
appropriately as any other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and efficiency of your
recliner.
