All Lumex Clinical Care Recliners now feature
the latest design, all-plastic casters from TENTE.
Specically 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-
ballbearing 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, identied 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. Identied 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.
