CHAIR CLASSIFICATION BASED ON MAXIMUM USER WEIGHT
AP600 / SP600
275 kg (605 lbs)
THIS DEVICE IS SUITABLE FOR TYPE A; HIGH USAGE (e.g. INSTITUTIONS) AND SHOULD NEVER
BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED
Forward Stability
The casters on all models are equipped with dual-locks. The step-on
lever activates both the roll lock and the swivel lock. It is essential
that all casters on the shower chair be in an outward position
before engaging the locks for optimal forward and lateral stability.
If so equipped, disengage the optional directional caster lock before
rotating the rear caster to the rearward position and applying the
caster’s dual-locks.
USERS MUST NOT lean forward while sitting in the Raz Shower Chair
as this may cause the chair to tip forward.
USERS MUST NOT wheel down a ramp without an attendant who can
hold onto the chair during the descent.
CASTER LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES! Never use caster locks to
slow down the shower chair when descending inclines as this
could cause the chair to tip in the direction of travel.
SAFETY I
Failure to comply may cause injury or
SAFETY WARNINGS TO CONSIDER FOR USER PURPOSES

Lateral Stability
USERS MUST NOT lean over the edge of a Raz Shower Chair as this
could cause the chair to tip.
USERS MUST NOT attempt to pick up objects from the floor by leaning
over and reaching –use a reacher or ask for assistance from an
attendant.
USERS MUST NOT position the Raz Shower Chair on a side slope as
this could cause it to tip.
Rearward Stability
USERS MUST NOT wheel up an incline on aSP600 without
ensuring that the optional rear anti-tippers are in place. The optional
anti-tippers must be ordered with the Raz-SP600 and properly
installed before wheeling on uneven surfaces.
Anti-Tippers –SP600
Anti-tippers are an option for the Raz-SP600. These are
recommended whenever the chairs are to be used on uneven
surfaces such as ramps or sloped floors, when used by lower-limb
amputees, when the rear wheels are movedforward from the factory-
set position or for any situations when rearward stability is
compromised.
Ramps and Other Inclines
Ramps and other surfaces that are not level (such as slopes into
wheel-in showers) must be tested with an attendant to ensure that
they don’t compromise the chair’s stability. A qualified healthcare
professional should be consulted to assist with this process.
DO NOT push or pull the Raz-AP600 up or down an incline or
ramp that exceeds a 1:12 grade (5° slope).
DO NOT allow any user to be propelled (pushed or pulled) in a
Raz-AP600 Shower Chair in any other manner than by an attendant.
THE REARWARD STABILITY OF THE RAZ-SP600 IS AFFECTED BY THE MOUNTING LOCATION OF
THE REAR WHEELS, THE PHYSICAL AND CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE USER AND THE
ANGLE OF THE BACKREST. THE NEED FOR ANTI-TIPPERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETERMINED AT
THE TIME OF THE PRESCRIPTION OF THE RAZ-SP600 WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE USER’S
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AND ENVIRONMENT. ANTI-TIPPERS MAY BE ORDERED AS A RETROFIT AT
ANY TIME IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED.
Immersion
The Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair is not designed to be used
as a pool chair. Do not immerse the shower chair in whole or in part,
in water or any other liquid. Immersion may result in damage to the
shower chair.
IMPORTANT

Chlorine Exposure
Suitable for use in wet areas, but not pools and similarly corrosive
environments.
DO NOT store the device near pools because chlorine in the air
will cause the device to rust.
Transfers
The most dangerous part of using any shower chair is the transfer. Since every chair has different
stability characteristics, it is essential to carefully review and test the transfer technique to ensure
that the procedure is safe. Test transfers should be performed with an attendant who can prevent the
chair from tipping or moving during the transfer. If you feel that the transfers cannot be repeatedly
performed safely, contact a healthcare professional who is familiar with transfer techniques and
options. Individuals who have not learned safe transfer skills must seek assistance during transfers
and may require the use of a mechanical lift.
Transferring onto a Raz-AP600
ALWAYS lock all four casters in their outward position (front casters
positioned in the forwardposition/rear casters positionedto the rear)
for maximum chair stability.
Transferring onto a Raz-SP600
ALWAYS lock both front casters in their outward position (positioned
forward) and fully apply both wheel locks so that they securely engage
the rear wheels.
The wheel locks are designed to prevent the self-propelling wheels from
rotating. The dual-locks on the casters are designed to prevent the
casters from rotating and the caster forks from swiveling. Caster locks
and wheel locks DO NOT and CANNOT prevent the shower chair
from sliding/moving if the floor is slippery. A slippery floor can be caused
by dust, water, soap or any substance that does not allow the
casters/rear wheels to grip the floor securely.
Transfers should never be attempted with the shower chair
positioned on slippery surfaces. It is recommended that transfers be
performed on clean, dry, non-slippery surfaces. Hard surface flooring
such as tile, wood or concrete may not provide sufficient grip to
keep locked casters and/or rear wheels from sliding. A fully-carpeted
surface is optimal. Be aware that area rugs and shower mats can slide
on floors and thereby present a hazardous surface.
DO NOT stand on any part of the frame of the Raz Mobile Shower
Commode Chair.
NEVER use the footplates to assist in transfers. This could cause the
chair to tip. The footrests should be swung to the side or removed
entirely during transfers to provide unobstructed access to the shower
chair.
The Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair is NOT intended for use as a
transportation device or a long-term seating system.

We have improved the design of our front seat brackets. Similar to the original design in its provision of
stability, this design also provides improved durability and functionality.
Please refer to the above image for the installation procedure.
Note: Please install the Phillips Pan Head Screws by hand. The use of power tools may cause the bracket to
deform.
After installation, ensure the brackets are secured onto the seat. Open and close the brackets to check for
proper functionality.
Always be sure that the seat is properly installed and latched. The rear hooks must be fully engaged and the
front brackets must be latched and locked around the front seat support tubes.
