can move, steer and brake the commode chair using the push handle.
Commode chairs have only limited anti-tip and anti-slip security.

out of the guides from the back.

You can lift the commode chair by the metal frame in order to carry
it over obstacles or stairs. Avoid lifting the commode chair by the seat
and backrest.
6. Transport
To make the commode chair as easily transportable as possible, the
backrest with armrests can be removed, as can the foot rests.
7. Storage and shipping
If the wheelchair is to be stored or shipped, all removable and
unsecured parts must be removed and packed separately in boxes. The
separately packed parts can then be packed into one larger box. We
recommend keeping the original packaging so it is available for this
purpose if required. It provides optimum protection for your wheelchair
from environmental influences during storage or transport.
