4.0 USE AND OPERATION
4.1 Casters
Each Raz Shower Chair caster is equipped with a dual-lock
feature, which stops the caster from swiveling and rolling
simultaneously. To activate the dual-lock, step on the end of the
caster brake lever until it latches in the
“on” position. To
deactivate the dual-lock, step on the raised end of the dual-lock
until it latches in the
“off” position.

2. Wash the pan with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaning solution. Use a soft brush if needed.

the underside of the seat and around the opening of the seat.
5.2 Cleaning As Needed

1. Remove the plastic buckles and tri-glides from the back upholstery straps, paying attention to
how the straps are wound through each component as they are removed.

warm water on a normal or gentle wash cycle. Include other strap accessories such as the H-

3. Install the back upholstery and other positioning accessories on the chair and allow to dry.
DO NOT
dry the back upholstery in a clothes dryer or damage to the upholstery may occur.
4. Assemble all plastic buckles and tri-glides onto straps.
5. Adjust the straps to the desired tension.
5.2.2 Frame, Armrests, Adjustable Footrests, and Other Components
1. Spray the frame and components with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner, scrub with a soft
brush and rinse with water.
2. If necessary, spray the frame and components with a diluted (10 parts water to 1 part solution)
calcium/lime remover (such as CLR), scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with water.
DO NOT
mix a calcium/lime removal solution with any other liquid or toxic fumes may result.
It is recommended to the user that a qualified Raz dealer check over all fasteners and subassemblies on
a continuing basis or if there is cause for concern to the shower chair
’s performance.
Several times each year the shower chair and its components should be wiped down with a diluted
calcium/lime removal solution in order to reduce deposits, followed by a hot water rinse.
To reduce the risk of mildew buildup, the entire shower chair should be wiped down with a soft dry cloth
after the final rinse and before storage or use.
