•Leg extensions with rubber tips MUST be in contact with the floor at all times.

•ALWAYS observe the weight limit on the labeling of your commode. Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if necessary.

•Ensure that the snap buttons fully protrude through the same respective adjustment hole of each leg extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are securely locked in position and an even height adjustment is achieved.

•Make certain ALL screws, nuts and/or bolts are tight at all times.

•Inspect rubber tips on the leg extensions for rips, tears, cracks, wear or if they are missing. Replace them IMMEDIATELY if any of these conditions exist.

•Ensure the front crossbrace is locked into the front legs and the snap button protrudes.

•Before removing/installing seat and lid, allow seat/lid to reach room temperature if exposed to cold. This will help prevent the seat clamps from breaking when being removed/installed onto commode back frame rail.
