OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

THIS REHAB SHOWER COMMODE CHAIR IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR TRANSPORTATION OR EXTENDED MOBILITY USAGE.

KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS TO AVOID INJURY.

Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the Rehab Shower Commode chair is unoccupied.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the pres- ence of a qualified health professional BEFORE attempting active use of the Rehab Shower Commode chair.

ALWAYS wear the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP.

ALWAYS verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an assistant is used to propel the Rehab Shower Commode 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 using the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the Rehab Shower Commode chair may tip over.

DO NOT use an escalator to move a Rehab Shower Commode chair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving Rehab Shower Commode chair with the wheel locks.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the Rehab Shower Commode chair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn ALL casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. When trans- ferring to and from the Rehab Shower Commode chair, ALWAYS EN- GAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS (on model nos. 6795 and 6895) or BRAKES ON ALL FOUR (4) CASTERS (on model no. 6891).

DO NOT sit or transfer into the Rehab Shower Commode chair unless it is fully open.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
