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.
Seat Tilt – Posterior and Anterior
3.1
A foot pump operated hydraulic cylinder allows the
seat to be easily tilted to any position from most
upright to the lowest within its range. The foot pump
helps to reduce lifting force. Use seat tilt to safely
position the resident, redistribute pressure and
increase comfort.

range. Use back recline to position resident, create
pressure redistribution, increase comfort, and assist with
daily care activities.
WARNING: Always tilt slightly before reclining to
prevent resident from sliding.
Do not remove spacers from the recline cylinder.
