  1. Locate Adjustment Pins: On each leg, locate the spring-loaded adjustment pin.
  2. Press and Slide: Press the adjustment pin inward and slide the lower leg section up or down to the desired height.
  3. Lock in Place: Release the pin, ensuring it fully protrudes through one of the adjustment holes, locking the leg securely in place.
  4. Even Adjustment: Repeat this process for all four legs, ensuring they are all set to the exact same height to maintain stability.
  5. Verify Stability: After adjustment, always check the chair's stability by gently rocking it and applying downward pressure before use.

5. Operating Instructions (Usage)

To use the MOPEDIA RS826 shower chair safely:

  • Placement: Position the chair securely in the shower area, ensuring all four anti-slip rubber tips are firmly on the shower floor. Avoid placing it on uneven surfaces or over drains.
  • Sitting: Carefully approach the chair. Use any available grab bars for support if needed. Turn around and slowly lower yourself onto the seat, ensuring your weight is evenly distributed.
  • During Shower: Maintain a stable posture. The backrest and armrests provide additional support.
  • Standing Up: When finished, use the armrests for support to push yourself up slowly. If possible, use grab bars for added stability.
  • After Use: If desired, the chair can be folded for storage (refer to Section 7).

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance and cleaning will prolong the life of your shower chair and ensure hygienic use.

  • Cleaning: The polyethylene seat and backrest are designed for easy cleaning. Use a mild soap or non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water. Wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
  • Drying: Dry the chair completely with a clean cloth after each cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain hygiene.
  • Rust Resistance: The painted steel frame and polyethylene components are rust-resistant, but proper drying helps maintain their condition.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the anti-slip rubber tips for wear. Replace them if they show signs of cracking or significant wear to ensure continued safety.
