Things to consider before

Safety Considerations
• This product is designed for use as a shower commode chair, it is not intended
to take the place of a wheelchair. As such, in order to maintain the safety of
users and/or carers this product must not be used outdoors or to negotiate
steps and stairs.
• The use of this chair is subject to an assessment of risk and suitability con-
ducted by a competent person.
• The safe working load of 160kg (25 stone) must never be exceeded.
• The footrests are designed for resting feet on, not for standing on, or full
weight bearing.
• The chair should be inspected for defects before every use and removed from
use should any damage be observed.
• The backrest and armrests must be used at all times when the chair is occupied.
• Check that castor xings are secure and that the seat is correctly attached
prior to use.
• At all times when transferring onto the shower chair and when the chair is
stationary, ensure brakes are in the on position.
• Prior to making any adjustment of the chair, restraints which have been provided
as part of the risk assessment (eg lap straps & harnesses) must be secured.
• Prior to tilting, ensure that hands and arms are inside the chair.

Operating Instruction
The Aquamaster tilting shower chair is simple to operate via a single rear mounted
control lever tted on the cross bar push handle, this operates the two stainless steel
gas springs and ensures that it is light and easy to use. It has a safe working load
of (160kgs) 25 stone.
To ensure the safety of both the end user and the carers, the braked castors should
be checked for damage prior to each use and applied;
• during transfer onto and out of the chair
• at all times once the chair has reached its destination
• prior to recline\raising of the chair
Braked castors are indicated by a GREY or RED locking lever.
The brakes are applied/release as shown below;
As an optional extra the chair can be tted with a directional lock castor, this is indi-
cated by a GREEN locking lever.
When applied (in the same manner as shown above) it is important to note that the
directional lock is not a brake it will lock the chair into a straight steering position but
will not prevent movement.
Please note: only one directional locking castor should be tted to the chair, should
more than one be observed this should be reported to the service/maintenance
contractor.

Armrests
Armrests have been designed to be adjustable to aid side transfer onto the chair.
There are two armrest types, xed and tip up.
Fixed armrests
• The armrests can be removed for easy transfer, as shown below.
• To remove the armrest, loosen the hand wheel (1), lift the armrest upwards from
the rear of the armrest pad (2), as shown below.
Tip up armrests
Tip up arm rests are permanently xed to the frame and pivot upwards to enable easy
access side transfer
CAUTION: Armrests must always be placed back into position after the
transfer has taken place.
All transfers should be planned in advance in accordance with the necessary
assessment of risk.

Adjusting the height of the footrest
Footrest height should be adjusted to ensure the comfort of the user.
• Carefully remove the pin clips (one per side) that hold the footrest in place -
loosen the threaded hand wheels on the rear of the framework to allow the foot
rest assembly to be moved freely
• Move the footrest to the desired position ensuring that the nal hole in the foot
rest is not exceeded.
Tilt\Recline
The Tilt in Space adjusts via its double powerful, high quality gas springs.
The use of twin gas springs rather than a single unit allows the chair clear access over
a toilet but ensures it is correctly balanced and therefore stable and strong. The chair
can be reclined using the easy to use handgrip in an innite number of positions from
0 degrees until the chair reaches 30 degrees.
To reduce the risk of entrapment, prior to attempting any rearward recline
ensure that hands and arms are on the armrests or inside the chair.
To recline the chair grip the lever rmly, as shown, and pull down on the handle until the
required tilt is obtained. Release the lever and the chair tilt will be locked into position.
The chair is then raised by gripping the lever and gently pulling up on the chair handle
allowing a controlled return to the level seated position, as per the lowering operation
it can be stopped at any point during its upwards travel.

• Check that both sides of the foot rests are adjusted equally and carefully
reinsert the pin clips to either side of the foot rest,ensuring that the clips
pass through the framework and the foot rest is securely held in place,the
threaded hand wheel is then tightened to prevent movement and provide a
stable resting platform.
