PREPARING THE REHAB SHOWER COMMODE FOR TRANSPORT

to the seat provided in a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling in a motor
vehicle, always transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by the vehicle
manufacturer.
When transporting the Rehab Shower Commode in a motor vehicle, do not place the Rehab
Shower Commode where it will interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle or endanger the
