Your Rehab Shower Commode chair has been carefully assembled and is ready for immediate use. In order to assure maximum service from this quality chair, it is sug- gested that you follow a regular maintenance schedule.

Periodically check to make certain that ALL parts are snug and bolts tightened. Also at this time, clean the entire chair using a mild soap and water.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

1.Before using your Invacare Rehab Shower Commode chair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

2.Periodically adjust wheel locks as tires wear. Refer to ADJUSTING WHEEL LOCKS in SECTION 11 of this manual.

3.Periodically check front caster and rear wheel hubs to make sure they are clean.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, the rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if damaged.

4.The rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced by a qualified technician if damaged.

NOTE: Tire wear is excessive if there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims.

NOTE: Invacare recommends that tires and casters are replaced every five (5) years.

5.Periodically check caster wheel bearings to make sure they are clean and free from moisture. Use a Teflon® lubricant if necessary.

6.Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. If loose, have them tightened by a qualified technician.
