03 Safety instructions for correct use
Stability
Forward
The front 125mm diameter castors on all models are total locking castors.
The step-on lever activates both the roll lock and the swivel lock. It is essential that all casters on the
shower commode be in the outward position before engaging the locks for optimal forward and lateral
stability.
If so equipped, disengage the optional directional caster lock rst before rotating the rear caster
to the rearward position and applying the casters’ dual-locks.
Users must not lean forward while sitting in the Juvo shower commode as this may cause the chair to
tip forward. Users must not wheel down a ramp in a selfpropelled model without an attendant who can
keep control of the shower commode chair during the descent.
The total locking mechanism of the castors are not brakes. Never use these locks to slow down the
shower commode when descending inclines as this could cause the chair to tip in the direction of
travel.
Lateral
Users must not lean over the edge of a Juvo shower commode as this could cause the chair to tip.
Users must not attempt to pick up objects from the oor by leaning over and reaching.
Users must not position the Juvo shower commode on a side slope as this could cause it to tip.
Unstable users may need to t a posture restraint. See your health professional for advice.
Rearward
Users must not wheel up an incline on a self-propelled model without ensuring that the rear anti-tippers
are in place.
The anti-tippers must be installed correctly at the correct height to ensure maximum of 10 degree
tilt is possible before the anti-tip bars engage with the oor surface. Ensure correctly installed before
wheeling on uneven surfaces.
RampsandInclinesandthresholds
Ensure that you have an attendant with you when accessing oor thresholds (shower recesses).
