HANDLING TIPS

The Everest & Jennings Rehab Shower Commode has been designed and engineered to 
perform as a stable and well balanced unit when used for its intended purpose. However, it is 
possible to tip the Rehab Shower Commode over if it is used improperly. We urge both user and 
attendant to learn the characteristics of your Rehab Shower Commode. It is most important 
to learn safe methods to perform the daily activities basic to your lifestyle. Use this manual 
as a guide for developing techniques that you are comfortable with, and consult your medical 
professionals for assistance in developing the skills and proper techniques to perform all 
activities safely.

TO ATTENDANT

 WARNING: To avoid possible tilt hazard, do not leave user unattended. Attendant must always 

be behind and in control of Rehab Shower Commode when user is being positioned or Rehab 
Shower Commode is in use.

1.  Work with the Rehab Shower Commode user's medical professionals to learn the best 

methods of assistance.

2.  Always tell the Rehab Shower Commode user what you are about to do and what you expect 

them to do, especially when changing balance or tipping backward. Remind the Rehab 
Shower Commode user to lean back when tipping backward, to maintain proper weight 
distribution.

3.  When assisting a Rehab Shower Commode user, always perform operations carefully and 

use good body mechanics (bend your knees slightly and keep your back as upright as 
possible) to prevent personal injury.

 WARNING: Ensure hand grips are firmly attached to push handles before assisting user with 

Rehab Shower Commode. Slippage of hand grips could cause personal injury or Rehab Shower 
Commode damage. If hand grips are loose or in unstable condition, contact your GF authorized 
distributor for repair before assisting user with Rehab Shower Commode.

 WARNING: Do not lift the Rehab Shower Commode by any detachable parts; this could cause 

personal injury to attendant or user, and damage to the Rehab Shower Commode.

BALANCE

Proper balance is the key to maintaining the stability of your Rehab Shower Commode. 
Reaching, bending, and transferring to or from a Rehab Shower Commode will change your 
weight distribution and center of gravity. Have an attendant with you at all times, especially 
when reaching, bending, or transferring.

TRANSFER ACTIVITIES

 WARNING: Always ensure that the Rehab Shower Commode is on a stable, level surface and 

engage the wheel locks before transfer.

 WARNING: Do not step on the footplates; this could cause the Rehab Shower Commode to tip. 

Fold them up, and either detach them, or swing them aside.

 WARNING: There is a critical moment when there is little or no seat platform beneath you. Take 

every precaution to reduce this unsupported distance before you attempt transfer.

Transferring into or out of a Rehab Shower Commode is a very difficult maneuver; exercise extreme 
care when transferring, and never transfer without the aid of an attendant. Consult your physician, 
nurse, or physical therapist for assistance in developing your individual technique. Make sure that 
the Rehab Shower Commode is stabilized, and will not move or slide during the transfer. Take extra 
precaution to prevent tipping. Use good body mechanics to prevent personal injury.
