SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – USAGE - WARRANTY
Safety Precautions
•
Be sure to read and understand these instructions before operating your new Uplift Commode
Assist. Failure to do so may result in product failure or injury.
•
Check all parts for shipping damage prior to using the Uplift Commode Assist.
•
Do not use the unit if you notice any damage or missing parts - contact your place of purchase
for assistance immediately.
•
Before using the unit, double-check all fasteners to ensure they are tight.
•
When the Commode Assist is assembled and the seat is locked down WITHOUT a user, all 4
legs may not rest on the floor. This is normal and is caused by the pressure from the Lifting
Mechanism.
ALWAYS leave the Commode Assist in the raised position when not in use.
Safety First : We strongly recommend that the person who assembles the Commode
Assist, be it a home medical equipment retailer or caregiver, "try out" the Commode seat
by seating and raising themselves before the user operates the Commode. This is to
ensure that all connections have been made securely and that the Commode Assist will
be safe for the user.
