Power Lift Recliner Placement
Your power lift recliner should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry, level ground where
there is ample room to allow for proper operation. Pride recommends that you have the assistance of
an attendant when positioning the power lift recliner to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.
Follow these steps to position the power lift recliner in a safe manner:
1. Place the back of the power lift recliner 76 cm (30 in.) from the nearest obstruction while the power
lift recliner is in the seated position. This measurement may vary depending on model.
2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilize the power lift recliner (Fig. 3.2).
3. Install the batteries into the external transformer if applicable. Refer to "Battery Installation" for more
information.
4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area where it will not be an
obstruction or, if equipped, utilize the optional wall mount.
5. Position the low voltage connection cable where it will not be pinched between the frame and the lift
mechanism.
6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is not already connected.
7. Plug the power cord directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord!
NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning of your power
lift recliner, stop and contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. To avoid personal
injury and/or product damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is
corrected and do not attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.
Battery Installation
Your power lift recliner may be equipped with a battery backup system that will activate during a power
failure. The backup system is powered by two 9V batteries (not included) that need to be installed into
the external transformer.
Follow these steps to install the batteries:
1. Unplug the external transformer power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Open the marked battery door on the external transformer.
3. Install two 9V batteries into the external transformer (Fig. 4.2).
4. Replace the battery door.
NOTE: Always make sure the external transformer is equipped with two fresh 9V batteries, since
the battery backup system does not recharge itself. Fresh batteries are defined as 9V alkaline
batteries that are replaced every time the battery backup system is activated during a power
failure, or once a year if the battery backup system has not been activated.
