Footrests

 – The footrests can be removed by pushing 

the release lever (1) swinging the footrests out to the 
side, or into the middle, and lifting straight up. 

 

 

To replace the footrests, lower the footrest pivot plug 
(2) into the commode seat frame holes (3) from the 
side on the center of the seat and swing the footrests to the front until 
they lock into position. 

 

 
 

Headrest –

 The headrest can be removed to aid in 

transfers by loosening the Headrest clamp on the 
commode push bar.

 

 

 

Tilt & Recline

 – The tilt/recline feature of the 170 rehab shower commode 

can be used to reduce tone and for comfort of those users who have 
balance control problems or may move about in the seat too much to be 
safe when the seat is level.

 

 

To activate the tilt/recline mechanism the caregiver 

 

grasps the commode push bar and squeezes the 
release lever (1). When the release lever is 

 

squeezed, two gas struts mounted on the side frames 
that hold the seat in position are released and the 
seat can be positioned at the angle 

 

wanted. Letting the release lever out will lock 

 

the seat at the angle set. 

 

 

Important:

 When the

 

release lever is squeezed the seat will move freely. 

The caregiver must have the push bar of the commode firmly grasped 
when activating the release lever to prevent the seat from pitching 
forward possibly injuring the user.

 

 

The user should always wear the provided seat belt for safety while sitting 
in this commode.
