WARNING
Do not use the Tilt Shower Commode without thorough instruction
from trained staff or from persons who have received instruction in the
use of the shower commode. Improper operation may injure the user.
Using the Tilt Shower Commode for people weighing more than the
maximum user weight of 325 kg increases the risk of damaging the
shower commode.

5. Use
Before use
The arm rests must be correctly mounted in the
holes on the side of the shower commode.
The width of the foot rests may be gradually
adjusted. Always mount the lock bolts under the
foot rests correctly in the foot rest holes.
The lock bolts must not be tightened against the
foot rests outside the holes.
Ensure that the seat is correctly mounted on the
seat frame of the shower commode.
Do not use the shower commode until both arm
rests have been mounted. Without arm rests, the
user may fall sideways.
Tilt makes it easier for care staff to perform daily
hygiene and care for skin and tissue.
While in use
The user must not use the foot rests to stand
on or as a step during transfer as this may lead to
a risk of tipping.
Risk of trapping
- Mounting the arm rests while the user occupies
the shower commode, may cause trapping
between the arm rest and the side of the chair.
- A foot may be trapped between the foot rests if
the lock bolts are not correctly mounted in the
foot rests.
- Fingers and other body parts may be trapped
between the seat frame of the shower commode
and a toilet bowl or the bedpan. Therefore, always
exercise great care when moving the shower
commode above a toilet, or when the bedpan is
inserted underneath the seat.
- A caregiver’s hand may be trapped between the
handlebar and the seat frame when the seat is in
the top-most position.
Always make sure to brake at least two
wheels when transferring the user to and from the
Tilt Shower Commode and when the user
occupies the shower commode.
When transporting the user, the seat of the
shower commode must be lowered as far down
as possible, as it may otherwise tip.
Tilt is a unique combination of a commode
chair and a bath chair.
The bedpan is easy to insert and empty.

6. Charging and operation
1. Insert the battery into the charger. When the
battery is rotated in the charger, it is automatic-
ally pulled into place by two magnets at the
bottom of the charger.
2. Connect the charger and the power supply plug
and plug it in. The LED on the plug section lights
up red during charging. The LED lights up green
when the battery is fully charged.
3. Remove the battery by turning it in the
direction of the arrow.
4. Insert the battery into the control box that is
attached to the handlebar. You will hear a beep
from the control box when the battery has been
correctly inserted.
Always charge the Tilt Shower Commode after
use.
Actuators
Tilt Shower Commode is equipped with two
actuators, mounted under the seat. The actuators
allow the Tilt Shower Commode to tilt.
The two actuators must be calibrated before the
first use of the Tilt Shower Commode.
0-point calibration
Calibrating means that a measurement is made
and subsequently an adjustment of an object
(e.g., an actuator) to a specific measurement is
made. Calibration of the two Tilt Shower
Commode actuators means that they move up
and down synchronously on each side of the
shower commode.
A manual 0-point calibration is performed via the
remote control:
1. Press the ”Arrow-down button” for approx. 12
seconds until the control box emits a mechanical
motor sound.
2. Release the button when the seat is in the
bottom position. The two actuators are now
calibrated.
Tilt must also be 0-point calibrated on:
1. Battery replacement.
2.
Using the chair after having not used it for
a long time.
3. Operational failure.
In case of other irregularities, please contact Cobi
Rehab at [phone] or at [email protected]k.
Low battery level
The battery emits five short buzzing sounds if the
battery level is too low for the actuators to move
down and up. At low battery levels, the actuators
can only move downwards.
Charge the Tilt Shower Commode.
Flat battery
The battery emits a buzzing sound when it is flat.
After the buzzing sounds, the actuators stop
immediately, and the control box stops working.
Let at least one minute elapse before inserting a
new battery. Remember to calibrate the actuators
after battery replacement.
Hard strain on the battery
If the battery is heavily strained with many
successive up-and-down movements, the battery
may become too hot, thus activating the safety
thermostat inside the battery.
This means that the control box will stop working.
The battery must be allowed to cool down for at
least 30 minutes before being used again.
The Tilt Shower Commode is slowly
discharged when not in use. The battery will not
emit a ”flat battery”alarm when the shower
commode is left unused. Therefore, always have a
charged battery to hand.
6.1 Preparation
Battery inserted into the control box and ready for
use.

If the beep (emitted when inserting the battery in
the control box) is followed by two buzzing
sounds, this means that the actuators need to be
0-point calibrated. See the section on 0-point
calibration on the previous page.
Five short buzzes mean that the battery needs
charging and, thus, the actuators will not work.
Both buzzes will be emitted if both calibration
and battery replacement are required.
Always keep an extra charged battery hand to
avoid downtime.
Always wait at least two seconds from the
actuators stopping before removing the battery.
Remember to calibrate the actuators after battery
replacement. See the section on 0-point
calibration.
7. Operational failure
If issues with operation arise, it is important to
check that all plugs are correctly connected to
the control box and the remote control as well as
between the battery and the control box.
If the actuators do not work despite the battery
being charged, the Tilt Shower Commode must
be 0-point calibrated.
0-point calibration
The manual 0-point calibration is performed using
the remote control:
1. Press the ”Arrow-down button” for approx. 12
seconds until the control box emits a mechanical
motor sound.
2. Release the button once the seat has reached
bottom position. The two actuators have now
been calibrated.

The Tilt Shower Commode frame, seat and arm
rests can be cleaned using water and a regular
cleaning agent.
The seat can be removed and disinfected using
ethanol 70-85% or a chlorine product of min.
1000 ppm and max. 10000 ppm.
The remote control and control box can be
disinfected using ethanol 70-85% or a chlorine
product of min. 1000 ppm and max. 10000 ppm.
Bolts and lock nuts must be regularly inspected
and possibly retightened.
Failure to inspect bolts may result in malfunction.
Battery handling
Always use batteries that are in good condition
and fully charged when installed in the control
box.
Battery life can be extended by recharging it
albeit if it is not entirely flat.
If the control box is not to be used for a
considerable period (days and weeks), the battery
should be removed from the control box to
prevent it from being completely discharged
which could cause permanent damage to the
battery.
When the Tilt Shower Commode is not in use,
store it in a dry place and between -10 –40°C.
The Tilt Shower Commode is suitable for land
and/or air transport (without the user). The Tilt
Shower Commode cannot be folded as the frame
is fixed.
To avoid injuries to e.g., the back, care staff
should refrain from carrying the 39 kg shower
commode. If it is to be transported, the Tilt
Shower Commode can be lifted by the frame,
without the user being seated in it, into a motor
vehicle.
9. Transport and storage
When storing the Tilt Shower Commode for a
longer period (more than three months), store it
in 0-40°C and a humidity not exceeding 80%.
It is recommended that the battery is charged to
60% prior to storage.
When putting the Tilt Shower Commode into use
again after long-term storage, it must be
connected to the power supply and charged for
at least ten hours.
Keep an eye on the battery capacity as the Tilt
Shower Commode will discharge over time.
