Mainframe
Put the main frame upside down on the floor. You will see four holes at the ends of vertical
frame tubes.
Wheels
Insert the wheels assembly tube into each end of the frame.
There are 2 holes (A & B) drilled in both the frame and in each wheel
assembly tube (as shown in the picture).
Adjust the wheels vertical tube to the position, where one of its holes
would match one of the holes in the frame. Thanks to this solution it is
possible to set the seat height of the chair in 3 different heights.
When the required position is reached, insert the fixing bolt through all
the holes and tie it with the nut from the opposite side of the tube.
Always adjust all 4 wheels to the same height.
Check if all wheels are locked correctly by pulling them upwards. They
should not be able to slide out or shake.
Brakes
Now turn the main frame around to the correct position so it is now on its wheels.
Before further assembly lock all wheel brakes in order for the device not to move.
To engage the brakes step down with your toes on the pedals attached to the rear part of each
wheel until they are locked (B). To disengage the brakes pull up the pedals with your toes
until they unlock (A).
Never leave the chair without engaging the brakes, when someone is sitting in it.
Always engage the brakes when entering or leaving the chair.
Always engage the brakes when you do not plan to move the chair.

of the main frame
Tighten the bolts on both sides of the frame, so the back is stable and rigid.

users’ feet on foot plates when moving the chair.

simply push them down. This function helps to transfer the user in and out of the chair and it

in either direction.
Transport recommendations
The shower chair is not a device designed for frequent transportation. If it is necessary to transport
the chair, we recommend to disassembly it in the opposite wat of the assembly description above.
The chair should be packed in a way where it is stable and there is no risk of sudden and dangerous
movements of the transported device.

Rev. 02-20 Page 6/9 Alu Shower chair with tilt 2024 –User manual
Accessories –Safety belt
It is possible to mount a safety belt on the chair. It is important
that the safety belt has loops at the end.
The loops should be placed at the backrest by lifting the
backrest like the picture to the side. Be aware that the belt is
turned the right way before the backrest is put back into
position like in the second picture.
Mounting 24” rear wheels (extra equipment)
It is possible to replace the rear 5” small wheels with 24”
bigger wheels with pushrods for self-propelling. Assembly of this kind of wheels requires mounting
of typical wheelchair brakes. It is all included in the accessory kit together with fixing bolts,
assembly clamps and plates.
Replacement description:
Disassemble the 2 rear standard wheels in the opposite way to the previous assembly
instruction.
Fit the 24” wheels to the rear vertical side-frame tube (as shown in the first picture below).
There are holes drilled in the tube that allow the chair to be adjusted in different heights.
Choose 2 holes and adjust the assembly plate so the fixing holes are in line with the tube
holes.
Insert 2 fixing bolts through all the holes. Apply washer and nut. Tie the fixing bolts, so the
assembly plate is very stable.
Repeat above steps for the other side of the chair.
Press the quick release button located in the middle of the big wheel. Insert the wheel into the
housing on the assembly plate. Release the button (see the second picture).
Always check if the wheels are attached correctly by trying to pull them out.
To take away the wheels press the quick release button and pull the wheel out of its housing.
After assembling the big wheels it might be necessary to readjust the height of the small
wheels at the front. The main bottom frame always has to be in position parallel to the floor.
For the 24” wheels it is necessary to mount regular wheelchairs parking brakes as the wheels
are not equipped with their own brakes.
The brake assembly consists of a mounting clamp. Brake mechanism and 2 fixing bolts.
Insert the sliding profile of the brake in to the smaller cut out of the mounting clamp.
Put the mounting clamp on the horizontal side frame tube as it is shown in the 4th picture.
Move the sliding profile to find the optimum position of the brake, so it is quite easy to apply
the brake when necessary, but the friction between tire and the friction rod is strong enough
to efficiently hold the wheelchair in a stationary position.
Tie the fixing bolts, so the brake is stable and fixed
Repeat those steps for the other side of the chair.
To apply the brakes simply push the brake lever towards the front of the chair. To release the
brakes pull the lever towards the back of the chair.
