GENERAL GUIDELINES

SECTION 1

TIPPING

WARNING

DO NOT tip the Rehab Shower Commode chair without assistance.

When tipping the Rehab Shower Commode chair, an assistant should grasp the back of the chair on a non-removable (non-detachable) part. Inform the occupant of the shower commode chair before tipping it and remind him/her to lean back. Be sure the occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all wheels and/or pinch points.

WARNING

When lowering the front casters of the Rehab Shower Commode chair, DO NOT let the Rehab Shower Commode chair drop the last few inches to the floor. This could result in injury to the occupant and/or damage to the Rehab Shower Commode chair.

STAIRWAYS

WARNING

ALWAYS wear the seat positioning strap.

DO NOT attempt to lift a Rehab Shower Commode chair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a Rehab Shower Commode chair may result in injury to the user or damage to the Rehab Shower Commode chair.

Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to move the Rehab Shower Commode chair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.

EXTREME CAUTION is advised when it is necessary to move an occu- pied Rehab Shower Commode chair up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends that, if possible, the user be removed from the Rehab Shower Commode chair prior to moving. Invacare recommends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations. Make sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held supports.

Follow this procedure for moving the Rehab Shower Commode chair be- tween floors when an elevator is NOT available:

1.After the Rehab Shower Commode chair has been tilted back to the balance point, one assistant (in the rear) backs the chair up against the first step, while securely grasping a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the Rehab Shower Commode chair for leverage.

2.The second assistant, with a firm hold on a non-detachable part of the framework, lifts the Rehab Shower Commode chair up and over the stair and steadies it as the first assistant places one (1) foot on the next stair and repeats STEP 1.

3.The Rehab Shower Commode chair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the chair has been rolled away from the stairway.
