03 PREPARING THE PRODUCT FOR USE
4.1 Locking brakes
The TSU-2/-4 is equipped with four 5-inch swivel
castors. Depending on the model selected, the
two rear swivel castors or all four swivel castors
are equipped with brakes. When the respective
locking brake is engaged, the swivel castor is
braked and also prevented from rotating. For
stability and to prevent the commode chair from
rolling sideways, the two rear locking brakes
must always be engaged.
1. Actuate the locking brake by stepping on the
locking rocker (1, Fig. 6).
2. To release the locking brake, step on the small
rocker lever (2, Fig. 6).

chair to the spot where you want to transfer

3. To swivel the side element, release the lock-
ing bolt by pulling it backwards (1, Fig. 7).
4. The side element can now be swung down
(2, Fig. 7).
5. You can now transfer to or from the commode
chair sideways.
We recommend that the transfer from the com-
mode chair be carried out with an assistant.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the commode chair, always observe
the following safety instructions to prevent falls,
hazardous situations and damage to the com-
mode chair:
tThe commode chair is only to be used in-
doors and on a firm, level surface.
tAlways secure the commode chair against
rolling away, even when not in use.
tThe commode chair is not to be used to
transport multiple individuals or loads.
Only use it for the intended purpose.
tThe commode chair must stand securely
upright on all four wheels.
tAlways remember that there is a general
risk of fingers, other parts of the body, or
pieces of clothing getting caught in all
the moving parts (leg rests, side elements,
toilet pail etc.). For this reason, operate
the commode chair with the necessary
care.
tWhen overcoming obstacles, please make
sure to use ramps. If the inclination is
greater than 10°, there is an increased
risk of tipping over in all directions. When
there is no user, the commode chair can
be carried by the frame under the seat. In
both cases, ensure that the toilet pail is
empty.
tTipping danger! Please note that body
movements shift the centre of gravity,
which can increase the risk of the com-
mode chair tipping over.
tAvoid wet spots – danger of slipping.
tNever exceed the maximum load of 120 kg
for users, incl. additional loads and add-
ons.
tNever use the commode chair under the
influence of alcohol or other substances
that can negatively affect your attentive-
ness and ability to react!
tAvoid exposing the commode chair to
sunlight (e.g. via a window, balcony) or
low temperatures for long periods of
time, as parts of the product (e.g. frame,
leg rests, and side elements) can become
very hot (> 41 ° C) or very cold (<0 ° C)
and may cause skin injuries.
tAny severe incidents associated with the
product must be reported to the manu-
facturer and responsible authority.
