Operating Instructions

Adjusting Height

The shower chair features an adjustable seat height with 1-inch increments, ranging from 16 inches to 21 inches. To adjust the height:

1. Locate the push-pins on each leg.
2. Press the push-pin and slide the leg extension up or down to the desired height.
3. Ensure the push-pin fully engages in the adjustment hole.
4. Repeat for all four legs, ensuring they are all set to the same elevation for stability.

For proper bath chair height, the back of the user’s knees should touch the front edge of the bath bench while standing. This allows the user’s feet to be firmly on the floor when seated.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the shower chair regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections, bolts, and rubber feet for wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose connections immediately.
• Drying: The aluminum frame is rust-resistant. Allow the chair to drip dry after each use to maintain hygiene and prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Chair feels wobbly: Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the exact same height. Check that all hand-twist knob nuts are securely tightened and the small curved black metal piece is correctly installed.
• Chair slides: Verify that the rubber feet are clean and free of soap residue or debris. Ensure the chair is placed on a completely level and stable surface.
• Difficulty adjusting height: Ensure the push-pins are fully depressed when attempting to adjust the leg height. If a pin is stuck, gently wiggle the leg while pressing the pin.
