RISER RECLINER SERIES
IV. ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY
RISER RECLINER PLACEMENT
Your riser 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 riser recliner to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.
Follow these steps to position the riser recliner in a safe manner:
1. Place the back of the riser recliner 76 cm (30 in.) from the nearest obstruction while the riser recliner is
in the seated position. This measurement may vary depending on model.
2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilise the riser recliner (
Fig. 3.3
).
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, utilise 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 lead directly into the electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension lead!
NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning of your riser
recliner, stop and contact your authorised Pride Dealer immediately. To avoid personal injury
and/or product damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is cor-
rected and do not attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your riser recliner may be equipped with a battery
backup system that will activate during a power fail-
ure. The backup system is powered by two 9V bat-
teries (not included) that need to be installed into the
external transformer.
Follow these steps to install the batteries:
1. Unplug the external transformer power lead 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 trans-
former 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 bat-
tery backup system has not been activated.
NOTE: If you unplug your riser recliner for an
extended period of time (more than one hour),
remove the batteries from the external trans-
former. The riser recliner will draw power from
the batteries even when it is not in use.
