4. Attach the headrest pillow to the backrest by inserting the leather strip through the guide (Figure 6).

5. Secure the armrest strap included in the accessories to the armrest. The armrest strap is used to position the remote control handset.

Check whether the mains or the handset cable is not stretched or ends up under the wheels or another object while operating the chair.

3. Using the handset operate all chair functions. Position the chair such that sufficient space

is available to enable unhindered adjustment of the chair in any position and access from all sides.

WARNING: The power chair must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet and must not be modified in any way. If the 3 prong plug does not fit your outlet, have one installed that meets your local codes by an electrician. DO NOT use a (3) prong to (2) prong plug adapter. Consult an electrician if you are unsure that the outlets are properly grounded.

CAUTION: Operating the recliner mechanism when the chair back or footrest is restricted and cannot move up and down freely will damage your mechanism. Be certain that the chair DOES NOT make contact with the walls, counters or other furniture or equipment.

IN-SERVICE PROCEDURES

Before chairs are put into service, all personnel should review this manual. In the belief that an actual demonstration of the product is more effective than written instructions, an on-site in-service by a Champion representative may be available depending upon the delivery circumstances. It is extremely important that chairs are operated properly and used in the manner in which they were designed. Certain improper methods of operating the chair can damage the chair and void the warranty. In the event that you do not receive your in-service packet, call customer service to obtain one: 800-998-5018.

CAUTION: DO NOT overload chair. Observe the specified maximum weight capacity for the chair model that you have selected.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Safe operation of the chair

Always check whether the power cord and the handset cable are intact before switching the unit on.

For a long working life and in order to guarantee user safety, we recommend that the following points be observed:

● Position the chair in such a way that it is accessible from all sides and does not knock

against walls or other equipment when fully extended.

Not keeping safety distances around the chair during backrest adjustment could result in the chair backrest being driven into the wall behind the chair, this may cause additional dynamic overload on the backrest of the chair and lead to pivot bolt damage.

Emergency shut off of the chair: In an emergency, disconnect the chair’s power plug and the battery plug from control unit in order to shut off the chair. The power plug and battery plug must always be accessible during operations so that it is possible to shut down the chair at any time.

12 OM00ELV8 Rev 3 effective 110118

The below picture makes the installation instructions evident:

Please keep the prescribed safety distances around the chair in order to avoid any damages of the frame!

Do not use the chair for patient transfer!

The Manufacturer shall not take responsibility for any consequences of misplacement and abnormal use.

● The brakes must always be locked when chair is not being moved, to ensure a

firm hold. Otherwise, there is a risk of accident.

● The chair should always be entered or existed from the side with the armrest folded up at telescopic version.

● Do not sit on the armrests or load it with too heavy weight.

13 OM00ELV8 Rev 3 effective 110118

● The chair should not be entered or exited over the legrest, because stepping on the legrest

can cause the chair to tip over or be damaged.

● Do not sit onto the backrest when it is folded back, because the chair can tip over.

● Prevent the power cord from being damaged, because a damaged cable can cause fire or electric shock: - the power cord should not end up under the therapy chair wheels or another heavy

object, - don’t leave the power cord near a source of heat, for example a heater, - when pulling the power cord out of the outlet hold the plug not the cord.

• Replace handset immediately if key pad membranes are damaged to avoid further damage

or short circuits caused by liquids entering the handset.

Do not open the cover of the control box, because its protection cannot be set up again and voids the warranty!

Always check whether the power cord and the handset cord are intact before switching the unit on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Caster Brakes

Always set the caster brakes before allowing your patient to get in or out of the chair. Release the caster brakes only when the chair is being relocated; and reset the caster brakes upon arriving at your destination. Never assume that the caster brakes have been set; check to ensure that the caster brakes are engaged before helping anyone in or out of the recliner. Armrest adjustment

The height of the armrest can be adjusted by pulling the indexing plunger on the telescoping rail, moving the armrest up or down and then pushing it back again. By loosening the knurled knob directly under the armrest, the armrest can be rotated and slipped (*) up and down along its longitudinal axis. The distance between the armrests can be adjusted by rotating the armrest. The enhanced mobility of the armrests makes it possible to comfortably seat differently sized patients. Folding the armrest up to the backrest facilitates entering the chair from the side (Figure 7).

Figure 7 Telescopic armrest (chair appearance may vary from photo)

Flexible height adjustable armrest for universal medical applications provides more flexible adjustability of the armrest in order to achieve the most suitable rest position during treatment. (Figure 8)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Use of the remote control handset The adjustment of the chair is done by using the handset (Figure 10). The chair moves only as long as a button of the handset is depressed. The control of the chair makes it possible that more than one motor is active at any time. Depressing any button is signalled by a LED on the handset.

More than two minutes of uninterrupted pressing of the button should be avoided!

After 2 minutes of continuous operation of the motors, an 18 minute pause must be observed.

Rapid adjustment of seated and recumbent positions The control of the chair makes possible to adjust the entering and bed positions rapidly and easily by using the handset’s buttons in the yellow field. Trendelenburg position Adjusting the chair to Trendelenburg position rapidly can be done by using the handset’s button in the red field. During the rapid adjustments three motors (leg rest, the angle of the seat and the back) work together. By operating the individual motors separately, we can deviate from the previously adjusted position. Adjusting the individual parts of the chair With the help of the handset, the patient can adjust the chair according to individual comfort requirements. In order to move the individual part of the chair (backrest, seat tilt, leg rest) use the▼▲ buttons. The motors of the chair, which control the movements, automatically switch off when the end positions are reached.

CAUTION: DO NOT overload chair. Observe the specified maximum weight limit for the recliner model that you have selected.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CHAIRS

WARNING: Never clean or maintain your chair with an occupant in the chair. Keeping the chair clean is the main maintenance requirement. Routine maintenance and periodic safety check is required to keep your chairs performing at their best. Each facility should check their chairs and set their own maintenance schedule. If a part becomes worn or broken, see the sections regarding service and warranty for information, please reference service and warranty section of this manual.

GENERAL CLEANING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: When solvent type cleaners are being used, care should be exercised. KEEP AWAY from fire or flame and use in a well ventilated area.

CAUTION: High pressure wash or “hosing down” chairs is not recommended.

CAUTION: Use of vinyl “conditioners” or “protectants” is not recommended. Vinyl “conditioner” or “protectants” can cause plasticizers to migrate out of the vinyl causing it to become embrittled. This will prematurely age your vinyl and is not covered under warranty. Some institutional cleaners or disinfectants may cause discoloration of the vinyl. Use of cleaners, other than those recommended by the vinyl manufacturer, is at the clinics own risk. Follow the vinyl manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations. Certain medications may produce a metabolite in the patient’s perspiration which can stain or discolor fabric. If you have any questions, please call Champion’s Customer Service Department at 800-998-5018 with the serial number from your chair. The serial number can be found on the frame base, on the back, to the left hand side.

23 OM00ELV8 Rev 3 effective 110118

GENERAL CLEANING

First clean on a daily basis the upholstery with warm water and mild soap using damp cloth. Regular and careful cleaning of the upholstery with water in addition to a mild soap can prevent hardening and embrittlement of the upholstered parts from such materials as detergent, sweat, skin oils, hair spray, hand creams and similar things may affect the leather during treatment.

Before cleaning or disinfecting, always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet!

Never clean the chair in wash tunnel or with a high-pressure cleaner nor spray liquids onto it.

Do not use any solvents such as benzene or similar substances.

Avoid ingress of liquid or disinfectant into the electronic control box, motors and remote control handset. Cleaning of the mechanical parts (motor actuating rods, bolts and joints) is not required and not recommended. Abrasive cleaners should not be used.

IMPORTANT: For specific cleaning instructions, please see manufacturer’s cleaning instructions included in the Vinyl Cleaning Instructions also on the in-service disk.

CAUTION: Limit use of strong active solvent cleaners per manufacturer’s instructions; unlimited use may remove the protective finish on the material

GENERAL DISINFECTING/INFECTION CONTROL - VINYL

Note: Infection control standards are the responsibility of the facility. Bleach solution recommendations from a vinyl manufacturer are not intended to supersede the facility’s infection control standards. Information from the vinyl manufacturer is meant to establish an upper limit beyond which damage might occur. A solution of up to 10% bleach and water may be used.

WARNING: NEVER mix ammonia, or a cleaner with ammonia, with bleach as dangerous compounds may result.

CAUTION: Do not use an iodine based solution since vinyl is an iodinophil material and will stain under this condition. If a solution other than a bleach solution is used and you are uncertain if it is iodine based, please test on a hidden portion (bottom back flap) of the vinyl. All vinyl manufacturers recommend use of bleach and water as a disinfectant. For standards specific to your particular vinyl, consult your vinyl cleaning instructions located in a separate file on this disk. For your disinfection standard consult your facility’s standard. For maximum allowable bleach concentration consult information specific to the vinyl your chair is upholstered with per the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. If you are using disinfection agents other than bleach and water; do not hesitate to call Champion’s Customer Service for assistance in determining whether there may be any concerns about that agent and the vinyl that you have chosen. For any upholstery that is not Champion approved, the facility is responsible for obtaining cleaning instructions on that specific covering. This would include all COM (Customers Own Material) or Custom vinyls. If you do not know what vinyl your recliner is upholstered in, call Champion’s Customer Service 800-998-5018 with the serial number of your chair to obtain assistance.

SAFETY INSPECTION AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Routine Safety Inspection The following inspections and maintenance work should be done in every two years with the Technical Safety Inspection. • The hinges and joints of the leg rest, backrest and armrest should be inspected. • The knurled knob of the armrest should be inspected. • The wheels should be checked to see whether they are securely fastened to the frame. • If the knurled knobs or the mechanical parts of the armrests are damaged, they should be repaired

immediately or exchanged.

Checking the electronic control Replace hand set immediately if keypad membranes are damaged to avoid further damage and short circuits caused by liquids entering the handset.

If the motors do not move change the handset. If the moving is still not possible change the control unit.

The control box does not work without closing plugs that should be connected tightly into the proper socket on the left side (Figure 1).

If you change a fuse or to check/repair inside the electronic control box, the power cord must be disconnected from the wall-socket and battery back-up must be disconnected from the control box. This provides total isolation of the chair from the main voltage.

Recycling of used parts and special waste disposal When the equipment is first commissioned, when it is taken out of service and during the exchange of replacement parts, the following points should be considered: • The packaging is not special waste and should be recycled. • Parts exchanged or replaced after the chair has been used for treatment are to be treated as

special waste. After disinfections, the parts are to be returned for recycling or disposed of as special waste.

• In the event of any questions about the disposal of parts and compliance with legal requirements, please obtain information from your local disposal company.
