5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Reclining the Chair
Your vidaXL Manual Recliner Chair features a manual reclining mechanism for personalized comfort.
- To Recline: Locate the reclining handle on the right side of the chair (when seated). Pull the handle upwards. Lean back gently, applying pressure to the backrest, and the footrest will extend while the backrest reclines. You can adjust the angle up to 135 degrees.
- To Return to Upright Position: Push down on the footrest with your legs while simultaneously leaning forward. The backrest will return to its original position, and the footrest will retract. Ensure the footrest is fully locked before exiting the chair.
