Casters –
The 180 and 185 shower commodes come standard with 4
locking 5” swivel casters that allow the commode to be turn a full circle in
its own length and be pushed in any direction required. This is particularly
important feature when the commode has to be used in areas where
there isn't much room for manoeuvring.
To lock the casters the caregiver uses their steps
on the lock lever (1).
To release the wheellock the caregiver pushes
down on the release lever (2) with their foot.
When the casters are in the locked position the swivel
feature also locks for safety.
Safety Information
Never operate the tilt mechanism without having a firm grip on the commode
push bar. The gas struts used to aid in tilting the commode need to be
controlled while changing the tilt angle to prevent the chair from pitching
forward.
Ensure back rest is securely attached before using.
To avoid tipping, DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward
in the seat to do so.
To avoid tipping, DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up
from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
To avoid tipping, DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach
objects behind you, as this may cause the commode chair to tip over.
To avoid tipping, DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the
direction you are reaching.
