developing and learning safe and effective techniques for performing your daily activities
according to your individual physical abilities and needs, and to make certain that your Rehab
Shower Commode is properly prescribed and adjusted for your use.
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only as
basic guidelines. You may find it necessary to develop your own methods for safely solving
frequently encountered challenges. Again, consult your professional medical advisors for their
recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
Your Rehab Shower Commode should receive frequent, regularly scheduled maintenance,
including an inspection of the mechanical parts, to ensure proper operation. Some suggested
inspection procedures, troubleshooting procedures, and adjustment procedures are included
in this manual. When it comes to service and repair, remember that your GF authorized
distributor knows your Rehab Shower Commode best.
The person performing adjustments on the Rehab Shower Commode has the responsibility
of making certain that the user can safely operate the Rehab Shower Commode with the
adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition,
the environment in which the Rehab Shower Commode will be used, and the terrain over which
the Rehab Shower Commode will travel.
