Safety / Handling of Mobile Shower Commode Chair with padded seat
Safety and handling of the mobile shower commode chair with padded seat
requires the close attention of the mobile shower commode chair user as well as
the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and
techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the mobile shower
commode chair . It is important to practice and master these safe techniques
until you are comfortable in manoeuvring around the frequently encountered
architectural barriers.
Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed on
the following pages have been used successfully by many users.
Individual mobile shower commode chair users often develop skills to deal with
daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. All
warnings and cautions given in this manual MUST be followed.
Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new mobile shower
commode chair user and assistant with safety as the most important
consideration for all.
Stability and Balance
To assure stability and proper operation of your mobile shower chair, you must at
all times maintain proper balance. Your mobile shower commode chair has been
designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as
you do not move beyond the centre of gravity.
Virtually all activities which involve movement in the mobile shower commode
chair have an effect on the centre of gravity.
DO NOT lean forward out of the mobile shower commode chair any further than
the length of the armrests. Make sure the castors are pointing in the forward
position whenever you lean forward. This can be achieved by advancing the
mobile shower commode chair and then reversing a little in a straight line.

Operating Instructions
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a
qualified health professional before attempting active use of the mobile shower
chair.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the mobile shower chair. If
loose and/or worn, replace immediately.
If the mobile shower commode chair is exposed to extreme temperature (above
38°C or below 0°C), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure hand
grips DO NOT twist on the mobile shower commode chair handle—otherwise
damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat as this
may tip the mobile shower chair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees as this may tip the mobile shower chair.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as
this may tip the mobile shower chair.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are
reaching, as this may tip the mobile shower chair.
DO NOT tilt the mobile shower commode chair without assistance.
NEVER leave an unoccupied mobile shower commode chair on an incline.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the mobile shower chair, every
precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel
to the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the mobile
shower chair, ALWAYS lock castors before transferring to and from the mobile
shower chair.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline which has a film of water, ice or
oil on it.

shower commode chair to tip, causing bodily harm or damage to the mobile
shower chair.

to the frame tubing.
