GENERAL GUIDELINES
STABILITY
WARNING
The back tilt angle, position of the front and rear casters as well as the user condition directly
relate to the stability of the tilt commode. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the five
(3) criteria may cause the tilt commode to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be
performed by a qualified technician.
OPERATING INFORMATION
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the tilt
commode is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare
professional BEFORE attempting active use of the tilt commode.
Always verify that the back assembly is secure PRIOR to use when an attendant is used to
propel or lift the tilt commode. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if found,
contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to move the tilt commode by using the back
assembly is it is found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the tilt commode unless it is fully open and the commode
seat assembly is properly fastened to the commode frame though the use of clips.
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater than 9 degrees
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your tilt
commode to tip over and cause bodily harm to you or damage to the commode.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back support. This will change your center of gravity
and may cause you to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the
commode may tip over.
CASTER LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving commode
with caster locks. These locks are to be engaged by the attendant when the commode
is stationary and prior to use by the occupant.
DO NOT tip the tilt commode without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a tilt commode between floors. Serious bodily injury
may occur.

2010 FMH Page 7
Before attempting to transfer in and out of the tilt commode, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn all four casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. When transferring to and from the commode, ALWAYS ENGAGE
ALL CASTER LOCKS.
DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those authorized by Future
Mobility Healthcare Inc. Otherwise, the warranty is void.
DO NOT attempt to lift the tilt commode by any removable (detachable) part. Lifting by
means of any removable (detachable) parts of a commode may result in injury to the
user and/or assistant or damage to the commode.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the tilt commode.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the commode, make
sure that the footplates are in the upward position.

stable and that one wheel is not higher or lower than another which could cause problems
for the end user.
