Raz-AP/SP Dealer Manual

Transferring onto a Raz-AP Shower Chair
ALWAYS
lock all four casters in their outward position (front
casters positioned in the forward position/rear casters positioned
to the rear) for maximum chair stability.
Transferring onto a Raz- SP Shower Chair
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 Shower 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 Shower Chair
is NOT
intended for use as a transportation
device or a long-term seating system.
IMPORTANT !
USERS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A RAZ SHOWER CHAIR.
IMPORTANT !
DO NOT LIFT A RAZ SHOWER COMMODE CHAIR AND OCCUPANT BY THE ARMRESTS OR
FOOTRESTS!
