4  ADJUSTMENTS

Tools required for adjustments in this section: included wrench and hex key

The Rehab Shower Commode offers several adjustments to make it easier and more 
comfortable to operate. Section 6, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance suggestions 
for keeping your Rehab Shower Commode in excellent condition; ensure all components are 
in excellent condition before adjusting. The following are recommended methods; after a few 
adjustments, you may develop your own. Always consult your GF authorized distributor for 
assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the Rehab Shower Commode has the responsibility of 
making certain that the user and attendant can safely operate the Rehab Shower Commode 
with the adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical 
condition, the environment in which the Rehab Shower Commode will be used, and the terrain 
over which the Rehab Shower Commode will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual.

ADJUST CASTERS

We recommend that you do not replace or adjust front or rear caster components yourself, 
since special tools and training are required. Please contact your GF authorized distributor 
when your casters need adjustment.

TIGHTEN CROSSBRACES

Check the crossbraces to ensure that the bolts and nuts that fasten the crossbraces in the center of 
the Rehab Shower Commode are secure (crossbraces should be loose enough to fold easily, yet snug 
enough to take up excess play). Use the included tools to tighten the crossbraces.

ADJUST FOOTPLATE EXTENSION LENGTH

Adjust footplate extension length by loosening the bolt on the telescoping tube shaft and 
moving footplate to desired length. Ensure both footplates are adjusted to same length.
Tighten securely with included wrench after adjustment. Ensure footrest bolts are securely 
fastened.

 WARNING: The footplates' lowest point should be no closer to the ground than 2

 1

/

2

 inches, to 

permit proper clearance.

 WARNING: Ensure footrests are locked in place before occupying or operating Rehab Shower 

Commode.

ADJUST WHEEL LOCKS

Tools required: included wrench

1.  Use included wrench to loosen the adjustment bolt until the wheel lock slides on the frame.
2.  Place the wheel lock in the locked position and slide it into contact with the tire.
3.  Place the wheel lock in the unlocked position and slide it 3/8" closer to the tire.
4.  Use wrench to tighten the adjustment bolt and engage the wheel lock to check the fit. The 

wheel lock should indent the tire at least 3/8".

5.  Repeat steps 1-4 for other wheel lock. Tighten the adjustment bolts securely to eliminate 

wheel lock movement on frame.

 WARNING: Ensure wheel locks are adjusted so that they lock in place appropriately before 

occupying or operating Rehab Shower Commode.
