Footrests – All Models
Footrests are available as an option on all Raz Shower Chairs.
Footrests are recommended for users who need an extra level of
comfort, positioning, or pressure relief in the thighs. For transfers the
footrests can be flipped up, rotated away, or removed.
To rotate the footrests out:
1. Lift the footrest hanger tube up slightly to disengage the
positioning pins.
2. Rotate the footrests outward or inward depending on
preference.
To remove the footrests:
1. Lift the footrests out of the receiving sleeves on the frame
completely.
To insert the footrests:
1. With the footplates directed in, place the footrest hanger tubes
into the receiving sleeves at the front of the commode frame.
2. If the support tubes are directed forward, the pins on the tubes
will engage with grooves in the sleeves and lock in place.
Footrests can be extended for users with longer legs with the footrest
extension tube, a 2” longer extension tube that can be ordered as an
option for any Raz Shower Chair.
To extend the footrests:
1. Remove the snap-pin from one footrest hanger tube.
2. Reposition the footplate to a length suitable for the user.
3.
Insert the snap-pin through the footrest hanger tube and
through the inner tube.
Ensure that the snap pin is completely
through the tube and that the grey plastic clip is snapped
securely around the outside of the hanger tube.
4.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the other footrest.

The back upholstery includes loops that are intended as strap guides.
To install the chest strap:
1. Insert one side of the strap through both back upholstery loops.
2. With the user seated in the chair, thread one end of the strap
through the plastic loop on the other end of the chest strap.
3. Secure the strap in front of the user with the Velcro closure.
To adjust the chest strap:
1. Open the Velcro on the strap.
2. Tighten or loosen the strap around the user as needed.

Pelvic Strap – All Models
An optional two-piece pelvic support strap can be ordered with the
shower chair and can be attached to any Raz model. The pelvic strap
uses heavy-duty webbing and buckles for one-handed operation.
To install the pelvic strap:
1. Weave the loose end of one strap through the DD-ring and
slide the DD-ring several inches from the end.
2. Feed the strap through the slot in the backrest mounting plate –
from the inside to the outside and then weave the loose end
back through the DD-ring.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other side.
4. Adjust the DD-ring and tighten the pelvic strap as necessary.
