HANDLING TIPS FOR ATTENDANT

TILTING Tilting the Rehab Shower Commode backward is generally required to negotiate such obstacles as ramps, inclines, thresholds, stairs and door sills. Tilting should only be performed by an attendant. To tilt the Rehab Shower Commode backward

1. Grasp the push handles securely and ensure that the hand grips are firmly attached.

2. Ensure that the user's feet are situated flat on the footplates and that arms, hands and fingers are clear of the wheels and any other components.

3. Advise the user, before tilting the Rehab Shower Commode backward, what you intend to do and remind the user to lean back.

4. Place one foot on the tipping lever and apply downward force until the Rehab Shower Commode is tilted back enough to overcome the obstacle.

5. Lower the front end slowly.

For attendant: threshold ascent facing forward

1. Ensure that the hand grips are securely fastened and do not turn or slip.

2. Stand behind the Rehab Shower Commode, holding the hand grips, facing the threshold.

3. Advise the user that you will be tilting backward and remind the user to lean back.

4. Tilt the Rehab Shower Commode backward to its balance point and move forward until the front casters pass over the top of the threshold.
