NOTE: Pride is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.
Batteries: Provide the power needed to return the power lift recliner to an upright or semi-upright
position in the event of a power failure. For those models equipped with a battery backup system, the
batteries (not included) must be installed into the external transformer. See Section IV "Assembly/
Disassembly."
NOTE: The batteries will provide power for only a short period of time after power is removed
from the system, so it is important to act quickly in the event of a power failure. Engage and
hold the up/down switch in the UP position as soon as possible. Maintain a steady pressure on
the switch to avoid excessive draw from the battery and achieve the most amount of lift. Keep
in mind that the amount of lift the batteries will be able to provide is affected by user weight and
battery condition.
Hand Control: Contains the controls needed to operate the various functions of the power lift recliner.
For more information, refer to the supplemental instructions provided with your power lift recliner. The
hand control may be equipped with a quick-release connector, which enables the user to detach the
hand control from the power lift recliner, disabling all functions of the hand control.
Figure 3.4 Footrest
z Chairs are designed so that your feet hang over
the end. If your heels were on the footrest, it would
put pressure on your heels and leg muscles,
and would become uncomfortable after a short
period of time.
NOTE: Please note that the footrest extension may not be level with the footrest.

Figure 3.5 Footrest extension
z However, when your heels hang over the edge of
the footrest, it puts the weight of your legs on the
backs of your calves. This distributes the weight
evenly to larger portions of your legs, and you
are able to sit for long periods of time without any
discomfort. The footrest extension is designed
to help support your feet and to sit below the
footrest to go with the natural curve of the foot.
