7. Safety advisories for use
When using the chair, the following safety
advisories must be observed:
Danger of slipping!
•Before using, check to be sure the seat is
securely pressed into the seat frame.
•Before using the chair always arrest the castor
brakes of the rear wheels (except when moving),
or the locking brakes of the grip wheels in order
to prevent a roll-away of the chair.
•When sitting down into the chair, the user must
not sit on the front edge of the seat or seat
cushion. Be sure the user sits all the way back
on the seat.
Danger of tipping over!
•The chair may be used when sitting and when
rolling only when the armrests are locked into
position.
•The chair may be pushed only using the push
bow (backrest).
•The footrests must be swivelled away or folded
up whenever the patient sits down or gets up.
The patient must never attempt to stand on the
footrests.
•The chair must not bump into door sills, jambs or
on uneven surface.
•Use the chair only indoors and on solid, even,
non-slippery surfaces.
•The chair may be pushed only at a walking
speed or less (with or without the patient).
•Do not lean out of the chair (when the chair is
still or in motion). If the swivel castors are
swivelled inwards, then the stability of the chair
is decreased.
•When adjusting the height of the chair, always
observe the applicable instructions.
Danger of breakage!
•Never attempt to carry or lift the chair while a
patient is sitting on it.
•The chair is suitable only for transporting
persons. Be sure to observe the maximum
allowable patient body weight (specified on
the nameplate)!
•Never expose the chair to wide temperature
variations. Observe the instructions concerning
the temperature range of use (see: 1.2).
•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
pinched, never reach into the hinge area when
folding the armrests up or down. Be sure to
check that the hinge areas are unobstructed
before moving the armrests!
•To prevent body parts from getting pinched, do
not reach between the seat and the frame when
pressing the seat into the seat frame.
•Be sure other parts do not get jammed when
folding and unfolding the footrests.
Danger of falling!
•Sitting down, standing up and moving the patient
should be supervised by a qualified care-worker,
as to the health condition of the patient.
•Use of the chair by patients who do not have
complete physical control and normal movement
must not be done unsupervised.
•Rolling the chair on any sloped surface may be
done only with the assistance of a care worker.
Warning! Danger of injury!
•At surface temperatures over 40°C (104°F),
there’s a risk of injury. Therefore do not expose
the chair to any source of heat (exposure to the
sun, storing near a heater, cleaning with hot
water) just before the chair is used. Before using
the chair, allow it to cool down.

pan under the seat (see: 11.8 and 11.9).
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 necessary, 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, that the shower/commode seat is properly
mounted, and that the footrests are folded away to
the side or folded up.
The patient should stand as
closely as possible near the
chair. He should then sit down
slowly on the seat while
supporting himself on 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.
For transporting the patient, be
sure he is leaned back against
the seat back and be sure he
uses the footrests.
11.2 Getting up
Before getting up, be sure the chair is stable and
secured against slipping away (see: 11.9) and
tipping over, that the armrests are locked in
position, and the footrests are folded away to the
side or folded up.
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.

Caution – danger of falling!
The patient must not stand on
the footrests when sitting
down, getting up, or leaving
the chair.
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 that may arise from calcium
deposits.
11.4 Adjusting the footrest height
The footrests are height-adjustable at 7 stages,
each 25 mm. To do this, unscrew the screws of the
footrests on the side using an SW6 Allen key.
Select the appropriate height and tighten the
screws of the footrest. Be sure the screw is
securely seated.
11.5 Folding away the footrests
Next swivel the footplates upwards and lift the
footrests. The footrests can now be swivelled back
to the side.
11.6 Removing the footrests
Lift up the footrests approx. 10 cm and turn them
outwards 90°. Now you can lift the footrests up and
remove them.
11.7 Removing the shower / commode seat
The seat can be removed from its receptacles for
the purpose of cleaning or exchanging simply by
pulling it up.
11.8 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.
11.9 Using the wheel locks – grip wheel
By pulling (1) back the lever of the wheel brake,
the brake of the grip wheel is released.
By pressing (2) the lever to the front, the grip
wheels are locked. Push the lever all the way
If the braking effect is not sufficient, or it
diiminishes over time due to wear, then it is
necessary to adjust the brakes (see: 11.10).
11.10 Adjusting the parking brake
Push the lever (1) all the way back. Slightly loose
the cap nut (2) of the parking brake and screw the
Allen key.
Slide the parking brake about 2cm in front of the
wheel and re-tighten the Allen screw.
Then retighten the nut.

Check the function of the wheel brake by pressing
the lever forwards. If the brake effect is still not
sufficient, then carry out the adjustment steps
again (reduce or increase the distance to the
wheel).
11.11 Adjusting the seat height
Both front wheels in the chair frame of the patient-
propelled chair are height-adjustable (2 stages,
each 25 mm). By adjusting the front wheels, the
sitting position of the patient is changed so that the
patient is leaning back against the backrest.
Because of this increased inclination, the
commode pan can slip out.
Danger of tipping over!
Be sure that both wheels are set at the same
height and that the screws are
adequately tightened.
Remove all loose objects (such as toilet pan,
covers) and lay the chair on its side.
Push the footrests all the way up.
Using the Allen key (accessory) completely
unscrew the screws (left rotation) in the wheel
unit. When loosening the screw, press against
the retaining nut.
Pull out the wheel unit until the next holes line
up.
Screw the wheel unit back on firmly (right
rotation) and push the footrests back down.
Clean the chair before using it again!
11.12 Tip-over protection
In order to overcome objects, the patient-propelled
chair can be tipped back. In doing so, the front
wheels are lifted up from the ground, thus allowing
an obstacle to be overcome.
Firmly place both hands on the backrest and tip
the chair back until the fixed legs almost reach the
floor.
11.13 Driving over a toilet
When driving over a commode, attention must be
paid to the clearance (see: 8.2 dimension G).
To assure that the chair can be rolled with enough
clearance over the toilet, push the cross-brace with
you hand until it hits the striker at the front brace
(A). After the commode is finished being used, the
cross-brace (B) must be pushed back to the striker
at holder (C) in order to assure the chair’s stability.

13. Care
In general the chair can be cleaned using
a mild conventional cleaning and
disinfecting agent. 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 or no 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
the local regulations-MPBetreibV).
For documenting maintenance REBOTEC offers a
maintenance manual (see: Section 9.).
Here you will find all information concerning the
scope of maintenance and forms for
documentation.
You can order this instruction manual or download
it at our website: 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 castor wheels and the frame).
•Function of the armrests and locking pins.
•Function of the footrests
(replace defective footrests).
•Rolling ability, check function of the wheels
(replace defective wheels).
•Check accessories for defects
If you have questions concerning
maintenance and repairs to the chair, then
contact an authorised dealer or medical
equipment supply outlet.
When making repairs, use only original spare parts
from REBOTEC. Observe all advisories concerning
guarantee and warranty.
Never make any unauthorised modifications or
conversions to the chair. These will only adversely
affect the safety and function of the chair.
In such cases the manufacturer overtakes no
liability!
Follow all the instructions when ordering spare
parts, re-use and product lifetime of the chair.
After a complete maintenance or repair of the chair
is done, we recommend a complete cleaning for
assuring hygiene. Follow the cleaning instructions.
