Powering On & Off

To power on your Golden Technologies lift chair, ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the chair and a functioning electrical outlet. The chair does not have a traditional power switch; it activates when the remote control is used.

Pressing any button on the remote will initiate the chair’s operation. To effectively “turn off” the chair, simply cease using the remote control. The chair will remain in its current position without drawing power when not in use.

Avoid disconnecting the power cord as a primary method of “turning off” the chair, as this may affect memory settings or require re-initialization. Always prioritize using the remote for control.

Adjusting Recline & Lift Positions

Utilizing the remote control, you can easily adjust the recline and lift positions of your Golden Technologies chair. Dedicated buttons control these functions – typically labeled for “Recline” and “Lift/Stand.”

Pressing the “Recline” button initiates a smooth backward movement, allowing you to find a comfortable resting angle. The “Lift/Stand” button gently elevates the chair, assisting you in standing up.

Adjust the positions gradually, holding the buttons until you reach your desired comfort level. Be mindful of your surroundings and ensure sufficient space for the chair’s movement during operation. Avoid abrupt or forceful adjustments.

Using the Remote Control

Your Golden Technologies lift chair operates via a user-friendly remote control. Familiarize yourself with the button layout before initial use. Typically, you’ll find controls for power, recline, lift/stand, and potentially preset positions.

To power on the chair, press the power button; Then, use the recline and lift buttons to adjust the chair’s position as needed. Some remotes feature memory settings to save your preferred positions for quick access.

Ensure the remote has fresh batteries for optimal performance. Keep the remote within easy reach while seated, and avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures.

Maintenance & Care

Regular cleaning and inspection are vital for maintaining your Golden Technologies lift chair’s longevity and ensuring continued safe operation.

Cleaning Instructions

To preserve the appearance and hygiene of your Golden Technologies lift chair, follow these cleaning guidelines. Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe down the chair’s surfaces, including the frame, armrests, and footrest.

Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the upholstery or finish. For vinyl or leather upholstery, consider using a specialized cleaner designed for those materials. Ensure the chair is completely dry before reconnecting the power. Regular dusting will help prevent buildup and maintain a clean appearance. Spot clean any spills immediately to prevent staining.

Regular Inspection Checklist

To ensure continued safe operation, perform these inspections monthly. First, visually check the power cord for any signs of damage – fraying, cuts, or exposed wires. Inspect the lift mechanism for unusual wear or loose connections. Confirm the remote control is functioning correctly, testing all buttons.

Examine the chair frame for stability and tightness of bolts. Listen for any new or worsening noises during operation. Ensure all safety features, like the emergency stop, are accessible and working. If any issues are detected, discontinue use and contact Golden Technologies support immediately. Document inspection dates for record-keeping.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

This section addresses frequent problems, such as a non-responsive remote, lifting/reclining failures, or unusual noises, offering solutions for optimal chair function.

Remote Control Not Working

If your remote control isn’t functioning, first ensure fresh batteries are correctly installed, observing proper polarity. Verify there are no obstructions between the remote and the chair’s receiver, typically located near the hand control box. Try resetting the remote by briefly removing and reinserting the batteries.

If the issue persists, check the power connection to the chair itself; a disconnected power cord will prevent remote operation. Consider if other devices are causing interference. If none of these steps resolve the problem, contact Golden Technologies Technical Support for further assistance, providing your chair’s model and serial number for efficient troubleshooting. A faulty remote may require replacement.

Chair Not Lifting or Reclining

If your Golden lift chair fails to lift or recline, initially confirm the power cord is securely connected to both the chair and a functioning electrical outlet.
