•Do not grab hold of or pull on attached objects,
such as armrest cushions.
Danger of pinching!
•To prevent body parts or objects from getting

•To prevent body parts from getting pinched, do
not reach between the seat and the frame when

Danger of falling!
•Sitting down, standing up and moving the patient

10. Setting up the chair for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled.
The following assembly instructions must be
carried out before first-time use:
1. Swivel the armrests to the back, insert the
backrest into the tubes of the chair frame and
push it down until it hits the striker of the lower
frame.
2. Swivel the armrests forwards until they click
into the slots of the backrest and the locking
pins click into the lower frame. Be sure they
are securely in place.
3. For chairs with height adjustment, the seat
height of the chair is set at its lowest position
for delivery (Base setting). Adjust the height as
necessary (see: 11.7).
11. Using the chair
When using the chair, the following points
must be adhered to:
Before use it must be assured that the chair is in a
proper condition for safe use. If possible,
depending on the physical and strength limitations
of the user (patient’s ability to move and muscle
strength), sitting down and getting up should not
be done without assistance from a care worker.
The chair may not be used for long patient
transport times.
11.1 Sitting down
Before sitting down in the chair, be sure it is
secured against slipping away (see: 11.9) and
tipping over, that the armrests are locked into
position, and that the shower/commode seat is
properly mounted.
The patient should stand as
closely as possible near the
chair. He should then sit down
slowly on the whole seat while
supporting himself using both
armrests
If this is not possible due to his
physical limitations, then a
care-worker must assist him. If
necessary a patient lifter may
have to be used.

Caution – danger of falling!
To prevent the patient from
falling out of the chair, be sure
the patient is seated
completely on the chair, and
not just on the edge.
Be sure he is leaned back
against the seat back.
11.2 Getting up
Before getting up, be sure the chair is stable and
secured against slipping away and tipping over,
and that the armrests are locked in position.
The patient should then move his body forward
until his feet are flat on the floor.
The patient must then place
both hands on the armrests
and slowly lift himself up.
The patient must not lean too
far forwards, in order to avoid
falling.
The patient should have the
care worker assist him when
getting up.
11.3 Swivelling the armrests outwards
By pulling out the locking pin, the locking
mechanism is disengaged and the armrests may
be swivelled back. When swivelling the armrests
up, check to be sure that the armrests are properly
seated in the locking position of the backrest and
locked by the locking pin.
Check the locking mechanism on a regular basis
for impaired function arising from calcium deposits,
which can impair the movement.
11.4 Removing the shower / commode seat
The seat can be removed from its receptacles on
the chair frame for the purpose of cleaning or
exchanging simply by pulling it up.
11.5 Removing the seat back cushion
The back cushion is fastened to the cross-brace or
backrest with studs. Press the buttons to remove
the back cushion.
11.6 Handling the commode pan
Push the commode pan under the seat from
behind the chair. To remove the pan, lift it up
slightly and pull it out.
For the model with a 2-piece toilet seat, the
commode pan can also be removed from above by
lifting the seat and put back as well.
11.7 Adjusting the seat height
For adjusting the seat for the patient or for placing
over a toilet, the chair models Würzburg, Ulm, Kiel
are height adjustable.
The height-adjustment (2 stages: each 25 mm) is
done through the 4 leg inserts in the chair frame.
Danger of tipping over!
Be sure that all four chair legs are adjusted to
the same height and that the screws are
tightened by hand.
Step 1
To do the adjustment, we recommend laying the
chair on its side. First remove the commode pan (if
at hand) and the seat unit.
Step 2
Using an (SW 5) Allen wrench, completely remove
the screws (LH rotation) in the frame. When
loosening the screws, press against the locking nut
(underside).
Step 3
Pull the leg out or push it in until the hole lines up
with the next adjustment position.
Using the locking nut, screw the leg (right hand
rotation) until tight (back side).

13. Care
In general the chair can be cleaned using
a mild conventional cleaning and
disinfecting agent. Next simply wipe the
chair with clean water and cloth, and then
wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Do not use an abrasive scouring agent or cleaner
(read the product instructions!) that contain
aggressive solvents (acids, thinners). Do not use
stiff cleaning brushes, as these will damage the
plastic surfaces or cause deposits to build up on
the plastic parts and other materials.
When using the product in a clinical area, the
shower/commode chair must be cleaned on a
regular basis at 85°C for 3 minutes in a cleaning
machine, in addition to general cleaning. First
remove any loose accessories.
14. Maintenance
The cause of accidents or damage may be due to
the late detection of wear and/or improper use, as
well as irregular maintenance.
For safety reasons and for preventing
accidents, the chair must undergo a
complete maintenance at least once a
year. (Refer to the Medical Products Act and
local the MPBetreibV))
For documenting maintenance, REBOTEC
supplies a Maintenance Book – Chairs (see: 9.).
Here you will find information on maintenance and
forms for documentation. You can order these
User instructions or download via our website at
www.rebotec.de.
Maintenance extent
Check at regular time intervals:
The intervals depend on the frequency the product
is used and on the condition of the product.
•Check for apparent damage:
(cracks, fractures, loose parts).
•All screwed connections for tightness
(especially the frame).
•Function of the armrests and locking pins.
•Check accessories for defects.
If you have questions concerning
maintenance and repairs to the chair, then
contact an authorized dealer or medical
equipment supply outlet.
When making repairs, use only original spare parts
