Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps for tool-free assembly of your commode. For a visual guide, please refer to the assembly video below.

1. Unfold the Commode Frame: Gently pull the legs of the commode frame outwards until they are fully extended and locked into place. Ensure all four legs are stable.
2. Secure the Bucket Frame: Lift the pre-installed bucket frame into its upright position. Secure it by ensuring the locking pins click into the designated sockets on the main frame.
3. Adjust Leg Height: Turn the commode frame upside down. Press the locking pins on each leg and adjust the leg sections to your desired height. Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the same length for stability. The leg height is adjustable from 14.5 inches to 20 inches.
4. Install the Backrest: Turn the commode frame right side up. Depress the locking pins on the backrest and fit them into the sockets on the back of the commode frame until they click into place.
5. Attach the Toilet Seat: Align the toilet seat with the back of the bucket frame. Press down on both sides until it securely attaches.
6. Place the Splash Guard and Bucket: Lift the toilet seat and lid. Install the easy-to-clean splash guard into the bucket frame, followed by the commode bucket. The bucket can be removed, and the splash guard left in place if the commode is used as a raised toilet seat over an existing toilet.

Operating Instructions

The Vive Folding Bedside Commode is designed for versatile use in three configurations:

• Standalone Bedside Commode: Use the commode with the included bucket and splash guard next to a bed or in any convenient location. Ensure the commode is on a flat, stable surface.
• Toilet Safety Rail: Position the commode frame over an existing toilet. Remove the commode bucket and lid, leaving the splash guard in place. The sturdy frame and padded armrests provide support for sitting down and standing up from the toilet.
• Elevated Toilet Seat: Similar to the toilet safety rail configuration, place the commode over an existing toilet. The adjustable height allows for a customized elevated seating position, reducing strain for users with limited mobility.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your commode.

• Cleaning the Bucket and Splash Guard: The 6-quart commode bucket and splash guard are removable for easy cleaning. Empty the contents, then wash with warm water and a mild disinfectant or soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
• Cleaning the Frame and Seat: Wipe down the stainless steel frame, padded armrests, and toilet seat with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the materials.
• Inspection: Periodically check all locking pins, leg adjustments, and rubber tips for wear or damage. Ensure all components are securely in place before each use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your commode, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Commode feels unstable: Ensure all leg adjustment pins are fully engaged and clicked into place. Verify that all four legs are set to the same height. Check that the commode is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Difficulty adjusting leg height: Ensure the locking pins are fully depressed before attempting to slide the leg sections. If pins are stuck, gently wiggle the leg while pressing the pin.
• Bucket or splash guard does not fit correctly: Ensure the toilet seat is properly attached and the bucket frame is securely locked. Verify that the splash guard is oriented correctly before placing the bucket.
• Unpleasant odors: Ensure the commode bucket is emptied and cleaned regularly with disinfectant. The included lid helps contain odors when not in use. Consider using commode liners for added convenience and odor control.
