NOTE: Tension or "ease of movement" of the gas spring is set by factory and cannot be
changed.

and locate the Gas Spring (FIG. 1). Loosen the 11/16" hex nut on the
Gas Spring located near the bottom-front of the chair. (FIG.2)
2. On the opposite end of Gas Spring, remove the Bow-Tie
Cotter Pin and Clevis Pin - (save the 2 plastic Clevis Pin bushings)
(FIG.3) Gas Spring can now be rotated for adjustment.
3. If Back of chair will not recline when "back release handles" are lifted
then you will need to Rotate the Gas Spring as shown, clockwise, one
half (1/2) of a revolution (or 180 degrees) - see (FIG. 4A). If Back of
chair reclines without lifting handles; then you will need to Rotate Gas
Spring as shown, counter-clockwise, one-half (1/2) of a revolution
(or 180 degrees). (FIG. 4B)
4. Once you make an adjustment; Replace Clevis Pin, plastic bushings
and Bow-Tie Cotter Pin. Pull up on the Back Adjustment Handle to

GENERAL CARE & CLEANING
Remove hair & body oils; Your recliner should be cleaned with mild soap & water solution and a damp cloth on a regular
basis (especially where skin & hair make contact with upholstery). Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals that could
damage the upholstery or finish of your recliner. If the recliner is disenfected, the chair MUST be wiped off with ONLY
clean water on a damp cloth.
Note: Disinfectants alone, will not provide adequate "grease or oil cutting" properties to remove hair & skin oils. Over
time, the appearance and feel of your upholstery may diminish if not cleaned
properly.
Please refer to the PERMABLOK instruction tag that is attached to your Care Cliner for complete care and cleaning
instructions. Retain information on tag for future use.
