Operating Instructions & Setup

Pull the right shower wall toward you until it opens to a
90 degree angle
(Fig.4)
Do the same with the left shower
wall until it opens to a 90 degree angle as well
(Fig.5)
.
Your portable wheelchair shower should now be set up
in a horseshoe configuration with the dark blue shower
pan facing you.
Your portable wheelchair shower comes with a dark blue
vinyl water collection pan that is attached to the rear
wall of your portable shower. A Velcro® strip is wrapped
around the upper rear tubing arm for shipping / storage.
By pulling up on the Velcro® strip, the blue vinyl water
collection pan releases to lay flat on the floor between the
rear, left and right shower walls. (Fig.6a & 6b)
Attach the Velcro strips to the lower support tubing on
the sides of the shower to hold the pan edges upright.
Leave the front open until after the person in the
wheelchair is rolled in.
The back of the shower should face your hot/cold water
outlets. A flexible water hose for bathing will be attached
to the water faucet later during this setup process
(included in your kit). A drain source for bath water
removal should also be available, as in your kitchen sink.
Your portable wheelchair shower comes with a support
arm that is attached to the right shower wall. Make sure
that the support arm on the right side of your portable
wheelchair shower is lowered to attach to the left shower
wall for additional support after the wheelchair is inside
the shower stall. In its lowered position, the support arm
sits approximately 6 inches off the floor aligned with the
support rails for the left and right side walls as well as
the back shower wall.
