All Lumex Clinical Care Recliners now feature the latest design, all-plastic casters from
TENTE, shown above. Specifically designed for use in healthcare environments, the new
casters are easier to clean, easier to move, and tolerate a wide array of cleaners and
chemicals. Each caster is made from high-grade synthetic materials and features a double-
ball bearing swivel head. The wheel center is made of polypropylene and the tire tread
of TENTEprene (thermoplastic rubber). The gray non-marking tires feature precision ball
bearings.
Locking casters
Each Lumex Clinical Care Recliner features three total locking casters, identified by black
actuator tabs, that lock both the wheel and the swivel. To activate the total lock, simply
press down on the BLACK actuator tab until it locks. To release the total lock, press on the
raised portion of the actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal operating position.
Directional (swivel) caster
The fourth caster, located on the right rear position of the recliner, is a directional (swivel)
locking caster only. Identified by a green actuator tab, the directional lock caster will lock
in one of two 180-degree positions relative to the frame (forward and backward) and allows
the recliner to track straight when pushed. To activate the directional lock, simply press
down on the GREEN actuator tab until it locks — you may need to move the recliner slightly
until the caster locks in a straight line with the recliner frame. To release the directional
lock, press on the raised portion of the actuator tab until the lever is back in the normal
operating position.
