Third Position (Second Recline Position)
The third position is the
Second Recline Position
and is also known
as the “Full Recline” position. This position is ideal for patient
treatment, rest and reading.
To Achieve Third Position / Second Recline Position:
• Reclining by patient: From the First Recline Position continue to
push against the back by placing your hands on armrests and
continue to recline yourself to the Second Recline Position. To bring yourself up, place hands
on armrests and pull yourself up while leaning your body forward away from the recliner back
while at the same time pushing down evenly on the footrest with your legs.
• Reclining by attendant: Standing on either side of the recliner, grasp the armrest with one hand
and push handle with the other hand. Push back on push handle to recline. To return, grasp
push handle and pull forward to raise the recliner back.
Articulating Headrest
The Series FR577RG features an
articulating headrest for additional
patient comfort. The upper section of the
back features a self-contained headrest,
shown at right. To reposition the headrest
section, from the recliner front, pull
forward on the upper section of the back
to increase the angle of the headrest
section. To return headrest to normal
position, push headrest section back so
that it is even with the back of the recliner.
Trendelenburg Position (Also Known as Shock Position)
Info: This position can only be achieved by a caregiver.
Refer to picture at right. Standing at the back of the
recliner, grasp the push handle with one hand while
actuating the lever located on the rear push handle with
the other. Slowly guide the back down fully until it stops
and release the lever. If the articulating headrest is in
the forward position, push it back so that it is even with
the back of the recliner. The Trendelenburg Position can
be obtained from any position.
To bring recliner out of Trendelenburg, stand at the
back of the recliner and actuate the lever. Slowly guide
the back upright and release the lever. Recliner can then
