Operation of the Chair:
9. This recliner has three (3) positions; UPRIGHT, SEMI-RECLINE, and RECLINE, which can be achieved by
user or attendant.
10. This chair is equipped with Total Lock casters. Stepping on the brake tab will lock the wheel and the swivel
mechanism of the caster for added safety and security.
NOTE: Optional Rigid Casters do not lock.
To ensure proper operation of the reclining mechanism, lubricate all pivot points with a silicone type lubricant (or
lubricant approved by your facility) at least twice yearly. Periodically recheck tightness of all screws and bolts.
Wrinkles in Vinyl – Storage and shipping can cause wrinkles of the vinyl on your Winco chair. This is normal.
Please allow 1-2 weeks at room temperature (approx. 70 degrees) to allow for vinyl to expand back to original
appearance
Failure to correctly install clevis pins connecting Back Frame fork holes
and Seat Frame Rail holes, will cause back to operate poorly and may
cause injury to the user or damage the chair and void warranty.
