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

RQD014ENr05 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

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

RQD014ENr05 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

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.

RQD014ENr05 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

front of the seat is lowered onto the frame. Check to make

sure that the rear seat brackets hook below the cross tubes.

3. Continue lowering the front of the seat until the front seat

brackets nestle onto the front seat support tubes.

4. Secure the seat in place by closing the front seat brackets.

To close the seat bracket, squeeze the clip and close

the bracket around the front support tubes.

5. Reverse steps 1 to 4 to remove the seat from the frame.

IMPORTANT

NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE SEAT HEIGHT WITHOUT THE HELP OF A QUALIFIED

DEALER. HIGHER SEAT POSITIONS WILL REDUCE THE CHAIR’S STABILITY AND MAY RESULT

IN TIPPING AND INJURY.

4.3 Casters

Each Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair caster is equipped

with a dual-lock feature, which stops the caster from swiveling

and rolling simultaneously. To activate the dual-lock, step on the

end of the caster brake lever until it latches in the “on” position.

To deactivate the dual-lock, step on the raised end of the dual-

lock until it latches in the “off” position.

IMPORTANT

FRAME AND SEAT ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY TECHNICIANS FROM

QUALIFIED RAZ DEALERS. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE FRAME ANGLE BY CHANGING

THE CASTER POSITION. THE FRAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE LEVEL. IMPROPER CASTER

POSITIONS MAY REDUCE THE CHAIR’S STABILITY AND RESULT IN TIPPING. THIS HAS THE

POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE USER AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE CHAIR.

4.4 Adjustable Footrests

Adjustable Footrests are standard on all Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chairs. For transfers, the

footrests can be flipped up, rotated away or removed entirely. Adjustable Footrests can be

extended for users with longer legs with the optional footrest extension tube, a 2”longer tube that

can be ordered for any Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair.

To insert the Adjustable Footrests:

1. Place the footrest hanger tubes into the footrest receivers.

2. If the hanger tubes are aligned forward, the pins on the tubes

will engage with grooves in the receivers and lock in place.

To adjust the length of the Adjustable Footrests:

1. Remove the snap-pin from one footrest hanger tube.

2. Reposition the footplate to a length suitable for the user.

3. Insert the snap-pin through the footrest hanger tube and

through the inner tube.

To rotate the Adjustable Footrests:

1. Lift the footrest hanger tubes to disengage the pins.

2. Rotate the footrests outward or inward.

To remove the Adjustable Footrests, lift the footrests out of the receiving sleeves on the frame.

4.5 Wheel Locks –SP600

The Wheel locks on a Raz-SP600 can be engaged by pushing

the handles forward. This stops the rear wheels from rotating. For

maximum stability, BOTH wheel locks MUST be engaged. To

disengage the wheel locks, pull the handles backward.

4.6 Commode Pan

The Raz Commode Pan is designed with an elongated shape that

fits directly under the seat to minimize back splash. A unique

splash-reduction ridge is located at center of the pan. The high

gloss surface facilitates cleaning and rinsing, while the pouring

spout and handle facilitate emptying. Removal of the Commode

Pan is achieved by sliding the pan rearward.

NOTE: When re-inserting the pan, ensure that the pan is guided into

the green plastic brackets and pushed forward until it hits the stops.

IMPORTANT

A QUALIFIED RAZ DEALER SHOULD BE CONTACTED TO CHECK ALL FASTENERS, CASTER

AND WHEEL LOCKS, HARDWARE, AND ALL OTHER MOVING COMPONENTS AT LEAST ONCE

PER YEAR.

5.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 Cleaning After Each Use

5.1.1 Commode Pan

1. Remove the commode pan and empty contents.

2. Wash the pan with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaning solution. Use a soft brush if needed.

3. Rinse well before storage or re-use.

NOTE: A soapy hot water wash followed by a disinfectant spray can be substituted for a multi-

purpose disinfectant cleaning solution.

5.1.2 Molded Seat

1. Spray with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner and scrub with a soft brush as required.

2. Rinse with a water spray before storage or re-use.

DO NOT IMMERSE the seat in water or cleaning solutions.

3. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the seat from the Mobile Shower Commode Chair to

allow better access to the underside of the seat and around the opening of the seat.

5.2 Cleaning As Needed

5.2.1 Adjustable-Tension Back Upholstery

1. Remove the plastic buckles and tri-glides from the back upholstery straps, paying attention to

how the straps are wound through each component as they are removed.

2. Remove the back upholstery from the back frame and machine wash with a mild detergent in

warm water on a normal or gentle wash cycle. Include other strap accessories such as the H-

strap, pelvic and chest positioning straps.

3. Install the back upholstery and other positioning accessories on the chair and allow to dry.

DO NOT dry the back upholstery in a clothes dryer or damage to the upholstery may occur.

4. Assemble all plastic buckles and tri-glides onto straps.

5. Adjust the straps to the desired tension.

5.2.2 Frame, Armrests, Adjustable Footrests, and Other Components

1. Spray the frame and components with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner, scrub with a soft

brush and rinse with water.

2. If necessary, spray the frame and components with a diluted (10 parts water to 1 part solution)

calcium/lime remover (such as CLR), scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with water.

DO NOT mix a calcium/lime removal solution with any other liquid or toxic fumes may result.

It is recommended to the user that a qualified Raz dealer check over all fasteners and subassemblies on

a continuing basis or if there is cause for concern to the chair’s performance.

Several times each year the chair and its components should be wiped down with a diluted

calcium/lime removal solution in order to reduce deposits, followed by a hot water rinse.

To reduce the risk of mildew buildup, the entire chair should be wiped down with a soft dry cloth after

the final rinse and before storage or use.
