BetterLiving Shower Chair Aluminium Manual instruction

Chair seat
Please read these
instructions before use.
This shower chair is
designed as a temporary
seating aid only. Do not
use the chair as a step or
transfer device.
This product is suitable
for use in showers,
bathrooms or wet areas. It
is not suitable for use in a
swimming pool.
The Shower Chair is manufactured
from lightweight aluminium, for
increased resistance to corrosion,
with moulded plastic seat and
contoured back support.
Some basic assembly required
Adjusting the height
The chair is height adjustable to match individual
user or uneven surfaces. A series of holes along each leg allow
seat height to be adjusted from 490 mm to 590 mm.
One rear leg has additional incremental settings to allow for
more exact positioning on uneven surfaces.
A brass locking button is used to secure the height of each leg.
Press in the locking button to disengage, and turn the leg
slightly so the button is no longer aligned with the holes.
Move the leg up or down to your ideal height setting,
then turn the leg back to align the locking button
with the nearest hole. The locking button must be
fully engaged and protruding through the height
adjustment hole to ensure a positive lock.
Repeat for all four legs, adjusting height evenly or
individually to match an uneven floor surface.
Before use, test that locks are fully engaged
and ensure the chair is stable and resting firmly
on the floor’s surface.
Box Contents and Inspection
