Transferring onto a Raz AP600 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 SP600 Shower Chair
–
ALWAYS
lock both
front casters in their outward position (positioned forward) and fully
apply both rear 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 swivelling. Caster
locks
DO NOT and CANNOT
prevent the casters from sliding and the
shower chair from 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 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; a fully-carpeted surface is optimal. Be aware that
area rugs and shower mats can slide on floors and thereby present a
hazardous surface.
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.
DO NOT
stand on any part of the frame of the Raz Shower Chair.
The Raz Shower Chair
is NOT
intended for use as a transportation
device or a long-term seating system.
USERS SHOULD NEVER
be left unattended in a Raz Shower Chair.
