Lateral Supports
Raz Shower Chairs may be fitted with optional lateral supports. Lateral Supports are designed to assist
a user in maintaining an upright posture in the Raz Shower Chair. One or two lateral supports may be
mounted on any Raz model. The molded foam pads have a soft foam exterior, contoured to hug the
torso, with a solid insert to provide strength for positioning. An extension plate can be ordered as an
option to attain additional reach with the lateral support pad. The Lateral Pads can be adjusted medially
up to 1” on both sides of the chair for slighter individuals. The Lateral Supports can be adjusted towards
or away from the chair’s backrest within a range of 1”. The Lateral Support Pads can also be angled to
meet the users’ needs. Both Lateral Support Pads lock in front of, and behind, the backrest.
To release a Lateral Support Pad from the forward position:
1. Grasp one pad bracket at the blue arrow decal and lift up.
2. Once released, rotate the lateral pad to a position behind the
back and press down above the decal to lock the pad in place.
3. Repeat for the other lateral support if desired.
4. Ensure that the laterals are locked in place before use.
To release a Lateral Support Pad from the rearward position:
1. Grasp the pad bracket near the mounting post and lift up.
2. Once released, rotate the lateral pad around to the front and
press down above the decal to lock the pad in place.
3. Repeat for the other lateral support if desired.
4. Ensure that the laterals are locked in place before use.
ALL ADJUSTMENTS TO LATERAL SUPPORT PADS (UP/DOWN, MEDIAL/LATERAL, AND ANGLE)
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. ALL ADJUSTMENTS PERFORMED MUST
NOT IMPEDE THE OPERATION OF OTHER COMPONENTS.
