Sitting:

To sit in a riser/recliner chair you should raise the chair to its fullest height by PRESSING the TOP RIGHT BUTTON on your handset. The chair will lift and tilt forward stopping automatically when it has reached its fullest height

Once the chair has stopped you should position yourself between the arms by backing towards the seat and allow the back of your legs to touch the seat. Once you have reached this position and you feel secure you are ready to lower the chair

By PRESSING the TOP LEFT BUTTON on your handset the chair will start to lower, at this stage you should allow yourself to follow the chair down by sitting on the seat during the downward movement until you feel the chair stop
