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 ground. This could result in injury to the occupant and/or damage to the Rehab Shower Commode chair.
ESCALATORS
WARNING
DO NOT use an escalator to move a Rehab Shower Commode chair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the Rehab Shower Commode chair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent the wheels from moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will help prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the Rehab Shower Commode chair tipping forward.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.
Position the Rehab Shower Commode chair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring onto, with the all casters parallel to it. Flip up the armrest. Engage wheel locks on Model Nos. 6795 and 6895 OR brakes on casters on Model No. 6891. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a trans- fer board if at all possible.
