DANGER– To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:

• To prevent suffocation, keep plastic bags away from children.

WARNING– To reduce the risk of burns, fire, or serious injury:

• Keep upholstery away from flames or lit cigarettes. Upholstery may burn rapidly, with toxic gas and thick smoke. Fires that begin elsewhere in a home may spread and involve upholstery. For your safety, always use a properly installed smoke detector with working batteries.
• Closely supervise children and disabled persons using this product.
• Sit down in the unit slowly. To avoid tip over, do not throw your weight against the back of the unit. Move the unit into or out of the reclining position slowly, making sure that no children or pets are in close proximity.
• This product has many moving parts, serious injury can occur if not used properly. Keep hands, fingers, and body parts away from the mechanism. To reduce the risk of head entrapment and other injuries, keep children and pets away from the openings and moving parts in and around furniture.
• Only the occupant should operate the unit. Never attempt to open the legrest by pulling on it.
• Do not stand, sit, or place extra weight on the arms, back or open legrest.
• To safely exit the unit and prevent a tripping hazard, bring the back upright and close the largest.
• Do not use this product if it is damaged. Do not use attachments or substitute parts.
• This product is intended for indoor residential use only.
• Provide a clear path for the operation of the chair, back, and legrest. Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.
• This product is not intended for use as a health care device.
• Do not operate the unit until the back is installed and locked.
• Use care when moving the product. Before lifting the product, secure the mechanism to prevent unexpected opening or movement. Never move the product by the mechanism, leg rest, handle, reclining back, or swivel base. Disconnect modular units. Securely grip non-moving parts only.
• This unit is equipped with a tension adjustment feature for the reclining mechanism that is preset at the factory. The tension setting can be changed to your personal preference. To avoid tip over and insure stability, do not operate the unit with the tension adjustment wing nuts completely loosened (See Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions).
• Do not place containers with hot beverages in the cup holders. The furniture has motion and beverages may spill and injure the occupant. Do not place oversized or uncovered beverage containers in the cup holders.

• Damage will occur to the mechanism if the legrest is forced closed from the 1st or 2nd position. The legrest must be extended to the 3rd position and then closed.
• Do not move the units while connected together. The purpose of the bracket system is to connect the units and prevent them from being separated while on the floor. The bracket system does not provide adequate structural support for the movement of connected units.

WARNING– To reduce the risk of injury:
• This unit is equipped with a tension adjustment feature for the reclining mechanism that is preset at the factory. The tension setting can be changed to your personal preference. To avoid tip over and insure stability, do not operate the unit with the tension adjustment wing nuts completely loosened.

NOTICE:
– To reduce the risk of product damage:

• Make sure the legrest is closed before tilting forward and adjusting the tension.

• Do not completely tighten the wing nuts. The tension springs should not be completely compressed after making adjustments. If this occurs, the wing nuts must be loosened a
  minimum of ½-turn to avoid damage to the spring tension assembly.

• Do not completely loosen the wing nuts. The spring should not slide on the bolt after making adjustments. If the spring slides on the bolt, tighten the wing nut clockwise
  a minimum of ½-turn after the spring no longer slides on the bolt.

• Adjust both wing nuts equally.

   nuts, one on each side, toward the back of the recliner under the seat (FIGURE 1).

3-Position Legrest Operating Instructions

WARNING– To reduce the risk of serious injury:
• Provide a clear path for the operation of the back and legrest. Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.
• To safely exit the unit and prevent a tripping hazard, bring the back upright and close the legrest.

NOTICE:
– To reduce the risk of product damage:
• Damage will occur to the mechanism if the legrest is forced closed from the 1st or 2nd position. The legrest must be extended to the 3rd position and then closed.

To Operate the Legrest

1. Your La-Z-Boy® chair is equipped with a three-position locking legrest for customized seating comfort. Simply pull on the handle rotating it counterclockwise to control the legrest (FIGURE 1). You may stop in any one of three ideal positions. The 1st position is slightly inclined to relaxing reading (FIGURE 2). The 2nd position is slightly more inclined to comfortable television viewing (FIGURE 3). The 3rd position is fully extended for complete relaxation (FIGURE 4). To lower the legrest, rotate the handle counterclockwise to the fully extended position, then rotate clockwise to the fully closed position.
2. The chair back can be reclined with the legrest closed or extended. To recline, apply pressure to the back. Sit upright to return the back to an upright position.
3. Bring the back upright and close the legrest before getting out of the unit.
   Feature of the Reclina-Rocker®
   The chair body can be tilted back when the legrest is in use. Shifting your body weight rearward will cause the chair body to tilt backward offering a number of different positions.

Furniture Placement Guide

WARNING– To reduce the risk of serious injury:
• Provide a clear path for the operation of the back and legrest. Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.

Reclining Units
To place your reclining unit the proper distance from the wall, fully recline the unit and leave a minimum of 2″ of space between the top of the back and the wall (FIGURE 1).
Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference. Interference with the legrest may cause it to not close completely (FIGURE 2). If the legrest is not closed completely, it may pop out unexpectedly and could cause injury. Proper clearance for an area rug is demonstrated in FIGURE 3. Make sure tables and other items are at a safe distance to avoid interference with the operation of the legrest. Improper placement of a table could cause the occupant to become trapped in the unit; this is demonstrated in FIGURE 4. There must be enough clearance for the legrest to be fully extended before closing.

Cup Holder Cleaning Instructions

Care and Cleaning Instructions for the Cup Holder
The finish on the cup holder can be damaged during use or cleaning. It is recommended that a coaster be used to reduce the chance of damage and that the cleaning instructions be followed. Use water and mild soap, such as dish soap, to clean the cup holders. Dry immediately and thoroughly with a soft clean cloth to maintain the finish. The use of harsh, abrasive cleaners is not recommended and must be avoided.
