TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the Rehab Shower Commode
chair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn
both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be
certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent the wheels from
moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat.
This will help prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
Rehab Shower Commode chair tipping forward.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and
upper body strength.
Position the Rehab Shower Commode chair as close as possible along side the seat to
which you are transferring onto, with the all casters parallel to it. Flip up the armrest.
Engage wheel locks on Model Nos. 6795 and 6895 OR brakes on casters on Model No.
6891. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a trans-
fer board if at all possible.
